Julian Goldie demonstrates connecting Hermes agent to LM Studio so it runs fully locally — free, offline, and private. The core steps: download LM Studio, load a compatible model (Nous Research models, Qwen 3, or GLM 4.7 Flash are recommended), start the local server with one toggle, then run Hermes setup and select LM Studio as the provider. For a deeper technical walkthrough, see our [Hermes setup guide](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/setup/) and [local GPU guide](https://openclawdatabase.com/nemoclaw/local-gpu/).
