Does Hermes Agent work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Install the Standard Compute launcher and run standardcompute launch hermes. The launcher handles the connection after a browser sign-in.

What base URL do I use for Hermes Agent?

The Standard Compute launcher configures the endpoint for you. Run standardcompute launch hermes.

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No code changes. The model "standardcompute" routes each request to a frontier or an efficient model, so you don't pick or update model names; an exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.

Use Standard Compute with Hermes Agent

Nous Research’s open-source self-improving agent with persistent memory. Install the Standard Compute launcher, approve the browser sign-in, and Hermes Agent runs on your monthly compute budget.

Without the launcher, run hermes setup, choose Full setup and pick Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint: base URL https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, your Standard Compute key and the model standardcompute.

Connect Hermes Agent

Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute, with no card. See trial terms →

Connect and launch

One browser sign-in covers every agent the launcher supports.

1. Install once

Install Hermes Agent first if needed: Hermes installation guide. Then install or update the SC launcher below.

On Windows, run these commands inside WSL.

Open a new terminal after installation. Requires Node.js 20 or newer.

2. Launch from your project folder

standardcompute launch hermes

Choose an API key and approve the connection in your browser when prompted. Hermes Agent opens automatically.

Use this command each time. We’ll remember your selected key.

Check the connection

Ask it to reply “OK”, then check Request Logs for the successful request and model used.

Uses a separate, saved SC profile with its own sessions. Your usual setup and connected messaging services are preserved. Run hermes normally to return to them.

Requests use your Standard Compute budget.

What changes in Hermes Agent

Billing: Hermes Agent requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models: The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
Good to know: Terminal setup for macOS, Linux, and WSL. External tools may need separate credentials.
