One shared Hermes agent, per-user access. Who has built this?

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: What I'm looking for: 1 agent definition, shared with the whole team.

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

What I'm looking for: 1 agent definition, shared with the whole team. Its only tool surface is an MCP gateway. All connectors, skills and subagents come through the proxy MCP/gateway. Each user logs into that gateway with their own credentials, and the agent then works inside that user's environment. Nobody borrows anyone else's access. Agent shared, access…

I built a CLI that searches Apple Notes 2500x faster than the AppleScript approach Claude/OpenClaw use

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. A title-first lead about: I built a CLI that searches Apple Notes 2500x faster than the AppleScript approach Claude/OpenClaw use. Skim it only if that maps to current agent/tooling work. Treat it as user-signal and pain-report radar, not gospel.

How do you use Hermes Bot on multiple computers?

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: I previously used OpenClaw, but I encountered numerous issues that required fixing almost every week.

Source excerpt

I previously used OpenClaw, but I encountered numerous issues that required fixing almost every week. I have now started testing both Grok Bot and Hermes Bot. Both are quite impressive, although Hermes requires more tinkering and configuration. Currently, my main challenge is working across multiple computers (Linux, Mac, Windows). With Grok Bot, I only nee…

A post from OpenAI News. Plain version: See how an MIT researcher uses GPT-5.6 Sol with Codex to autonomously run quantum computing experiments, analyze results, and calibrate qubits.

Why you might care

Codex is turning into OpenAI’s agentic workbench. Worth tracking for cloud dev-env patterns, long-running task ergonomics, and places Hermes can stay lighter/local.

Copying explains the collective behavior of AI agents in the wild

Editor's read

A research paper. In human terms: In June 2026, thousands of AI agents found that a small public wiki would accept edits from inside their sandboxes, and started using it to help one another pass a timed test.

Why you might care

Evals are how we avoid vibes-only agent work. Useful if it suggests tests we can adapt for Hermes/OAC reliability.

Source excerpt

In June 2026, thousands of AI agents found that a small public wiki would accept edits from inside their sandboxes, and started using it to help one another pass a timed test. Each agent lived for about an hour and remembered nothing afterwards. Nobody asked them to cooperate, and the wiki had not been built for them. The complete record of what they wrote is public, and it is unusually informative, because it prese…

This maps directly onto OAC: what agents remember, what they should forget, and how not to build a cursed context landfill.

Source excerpt

Accurate citations are the foundation of academic writing, tracing intellectual origins and substantiating core claims. However, manually navigating the growing volume of scientific literature is increasingly difficult, prompting reliance on automatic citation recommendation. While modern retrieval-augmented architectures have largely mitigated the fabrication of non-existent papers, current systems relying on seman…

## Key Changes Version 0.20.0 is a minor release because it changes the implicit default model and includes a potentially breaking MCP dependency migration for applications with customized local HTTP transports. MCP v1 remains supported, and affected applications can migrate to `httpx2` or pin `mcp<2`. ### Highlights: - The default model is now `gpt-5.6-lun…
