Hermes Agent exposes local LLM gaps
A Reddit discussion highlights a performance gap when running Hermes Agent locally via Ollama compared to cloud-based APIs, as smaller models often fail to output structured commands for automation. The thread underscores the difficulty of achieving "Codex-style" reliability in tool-calling without the reasoning density of high-parameter cloud models.
Reliable tool-calling typically requires 70B+ parameter models or specialized fine-tunes that are still maturing for local deployment. While Hermes Agent's "Skill Documents" system addresses persistence, it cannot overcome a smaller model's failure to adhere to structured formats, leading the community toward hybrid approaches or larger hardware for true autonomy.
