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?

IMO it's too eager to change its own code.

On multiple occasions I've just asked questions like, "what checks do you do on work from delegated workers," and it'll decide to rewrite some of its code and break itself.

it just happened to me! I've been using telegram to chat with it all this time. Finally downloaded their desktop app and tried it out. It worked for one day and now it's throwing a "No LLM provider configured" error for Ollama local after an update.

I asked the telegram chat to figure this out and it's currently reading it's own internal code to "figure out when No LLM provider configured is called". 😂😂
