Folks,

I’m setting up Hermes Agent on my Mac with Ollama hosting a local model. But I’m on the fence on whether I should go with Hermes or OpenClaw. Hermes makes some pretty bold claims about “growing with you” and “self improvement”.

Anyone have any insight into whether it’s as good as promised?

Any time, I hope they're helpful! (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

I’m a little surprised to hear you say PAYG for Opus sub agents is economical

I did say it was surprising! 😂 To give you an idea what I mean by "economical", it's never more than a few bucks a day, even on days of heavy use and development with "loop until clean" instructions on QA (for which I use Opus). I accidentally blew through my opencode go quota really early in the first month, so I ended up on PAYG; here's the usage graph: image

And here's the numbers breakdown for the highest day (I was evaluating GLM5.1 for general tasks - don't use it for that, it's really token hungry)

That includes a lot of experimentation too while I figured out which models were best for what. I hid Fable because it crushed the rest of the table - really expensive, but worth it for one-shotting very long tasks on the Anthropic subscription is what I found.
