✨ Highlights
Hermes Desktop — a real native app, not a terminal wrapper — This is the headline. There's now a
apps/desktop/Electron application that installs like any other desktop app on macOS, Linux, and Windows, updates itself in place from inside the app, and gives you a polished GUI for everything Hermes does. You get a proper chat window with streaming, a session list you can archive and search, drag-and-drop files anywhere in the chat area, clipboard image paste, a Cmd+K command palette, and a model picker right in the status bar. If you've been telling friends "it's a CLI agent" and watching their eyes glaze over — now you can just send them an installer. None of this existed a week ago. (#20059, #35607, #37099, #37379, #38631 — @OutThisLife, @jquesnelle, @ethernet8023, @austinpickett, @benbarclay)Run the desktop app against a remote Hermes — sign in with OAuth or username/password — The desktop app doesn't have to run Hermes locally. Point it at a remote Hermes gateway (your homelab, a hosted box, a teammate's server) and it connects over a secure WebSocket, authenticating with OAuth or a username/password login — no fiddling with
--insecureflags or hand-copied session tokens. Each profile can target its own remote host, and you can run concurrent sessions across multiple profiles in one window with cross-profile@sessionlinks. The practical version: your laptop runs a thin GUI, the heavy agent runs wherever your API keys and compute live. (#37888, #38851, #39330, #39778 — @benbarclay, @OutThisLife, @teknium1)The web dashboard is now a full admin panel — configure everything from the browser — The dashboard grew from "view your sessions" into a complete administration surface. There's a Channels page that sets up every gateway messaging platform (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) from the browser, an admin panel for the MCP catalog with enable/disable toggles, credential management, webhook and hook creation, memory configuration, gateway controls, and a System page with check-before-update and one-click Debug Share. You no longer have to SSH in and edit
config.yamlto wire up a new messaging channel or MCP server — it's all point-and-click now. (#36704, #36736, #37211, #38205, #38600 — @teknium1)Hermes Desktop speaks Simplified Chinese — full 简体中文 in the chat GUI — The desktop app now ships a complete Simplified Chinese (简体中文) translation across every UI surface — the chat window itself, sidebar, settings, command center, cron, messaging, profiles, skills, agents, the lot. English stays the default; switch language in Appearance settings and the choice persists to your config (
display.language). It's built on a proper typed i18n layer, so adding more languages from here is straightforward. (#38241 — @JimLiu)Leaner default skill set — Hermes ships only what you actually need — The bundled skill set got a deliberate trim. Skills that were redundant or dead are gone (
spotify— superseded by the native Spotify plugin's 7 tools;linear— superseded byhermes mcp install linear;kanban-codex-lane,debugging-hermes-tui-commands, a staledomainorphan, and several empty category markers). Heavier or niche skills moved from bundled to optional (the Baoyu creative set,dspy,subagent-driven-development,minecraft-modpack-server,pokemon-player,hermes-s6-container-supervision) — still onehermes skills installaway, just not loaded by default. And a newenvironments:relevance gate keeps context-specific skills (kanban, docker/s6) out of the skills index for users who'll never use them, while still loading them on explicit request. The result: a smaller, sharper default skill list, less noise in the picker, and a lighter prompt. The curator can now prune unused built-in skills too (not just agent-created ones), with usage tracked for every skill. (#39028, #36701, #36228 — @teknium1)NVIDIA/skills is now a built-in trusted skills tap —
NVIDIA/skillsjoins OpenAI, Anthropic, and HuggingFace as a default trusted tap in the Skills Hub — discoverable, browsable, searchable, and auto-updating through the same pipeline. NVIDIA's verified skills for CUDA-X, AIQ, cuOpt and the rest of their product stack are one install away, with real category labels from the repo'sskills.sh.jsonsidecar. (#34333 — @teknium1)Quick Setup via Nous Portal — from install to first message in seconds — First-time setup was thinned down to two clear paths: Quick Setup (sign in with Nous Portal, get a model picker, start chatting immediately) or Full Setup (the detailed wizard for power users).
hermes portalis now the human-readable alias that runs the full quick-setup Nous flow. The first-run menu explains the difference inline so newcomers aren't guessing. The goal: a brand-new user shouldn't need to read docs to send their first message. (#35723, #36227, #38449, #38465 — @teknium1, @kshitijk4poor)Fuzzy model picker, everywhere — type a few letters, find your model — The model picker now does fuzzy search across the desktop app, web dashboard, TUI, and CLI. Type "v4fl" and
deepseek-v4-flashsurfaces; multi-endpoint providers are grouped under one row instead of cluttering the list with duplicates, and each row carries a description so you know what you're picking. The catalog refreshes hourly instead of daily, so new models show up the same day they launch. New this window:deepseek-v4-flash,MiniMax-M3with 1M context,qwen3.7-plus. (#36928, #35227, #35756, #35659, #36214 — @kshitijk4poor, @teknium1)/undo [N]— take back the last N turns — Said the wrong thing, or sent the agent down a bad path?/undobacks up N user turns, prefills your last message so you can edit and resend, and soft-deletes the turns in between. It works in the CLI, the TUI, and across messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, etc.) with full parity. Closes a long-standing request (#21910). (#36229, #36699 — @teknium1)Choose your default interface —
cliortui— You can now set whetherhermes chatdrops you into the classic CLI or the Ink TUI by default, with a--cliflag to override per-invocation. The TUI also got a single unified/modelcommand and a Sessions overlay for switching between live sessions. Use the interface you actually like.
