Herding Hermes' persistent memory: from self-hosting mem0 to EverOS

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: Been using Hermes for about half a year now, and memory has always been the thing that bugged me.

Why you might care

Directly relevant to your agent stack. This can affect Hermes behavior, upgrade timing, plugins, gateway surfaces, or ideas worth stealing for OAC/DestructoR666.

Source excerpt

Been using Hermes for about half a year now, and memory has always been the thing that bugged me. The built-in markdown memory works but it's primitive — the agent decides what to remember on its own, which means it either stores a pile of useless stuff or misses things that actually matter. The more mature community option is mem0. I self-hosted it for a w…

Perception-based humanoid loco-manipulation requires connecting egocentric observations and task instructions to whole-body motion.
