Hermes Agent v0.8.0 drops with background notifications, live switching

Hermes Agent v0.8.0 pushes the framework past experimental toy status by solving the friction of managing long-running autonomous processes.

• –Background task auto-notifications mean you can fire and forget complex workflows, only getting pinged when human intervention or review is actually needed.
• –Live model switching across Telegram and Discord lets developers dynamically route queries to cheaper or smarter models on the fly without bouncing the service.
• –The addition of native Google AI Studio support proves the ecosystem is aggressively expanding beyond OpenAI defaults.
