Nous Research Ships Hermes Agent v0.21 Pantheon With Bots Mode, Agent-to-Agent Comms and Subagent Steering

Open Source Agents ai-business

Summary

Nous Research shipped Hermes Agent v0.21.0 'Pantheon' with Bots Mode (a society of named subagents with faces and group chats in the desktop app), Agent-to-Agent communications, persistent multi-gateway connections and live subagent steering. The release cuts default context roughly in half, adds cron memory so scheduled jobs learn between runs, and lets the agent drive the desktop's own browser via an expanded MCP surface.
