Source video "The new Hermes Agent update officially ended OpenClaw" by **Alex Finn** — [Watch on YouTube →](https://youtube.com/watch?v=_LYXbI6JY5M) ## Key Takeaways - **Mixture of Agents (/ma):** your orchestrator model (Finn uses Opus 48) sends the prompt to reference models — ChatGPT and DeepSeek v4 via OpenRouter by default — then synthesizes their answers into one higher-quality response. If it doesn't work on the first try, it's almost always because OpenRouter API keys aren't configured yet. - **/learn turns anything into a skill:** hand it a URL, a tweet, a prompt, or run it right after a completed task, and Hermes automatically creates a reusable skill plus a memory — no manual skill-writing. - **/journey memory graph:** renders a visual chart of every skill and memory your agent has built and how they connect — a quick way to see what it has learned about you over time. - **Self-improvement got cheaper:** background work like creating memories and skills is now delegated to cheaper models instead of your primary Opus/GPT model, which cuts a major source of Hermes running cost. - **Vibe coding now has full git controls:** the Hermes desktop app shows file diffs, lets you make commits, and lets you open pull requests without leaving Hermes — turning it into a viable standalone coding tool. - **Set up a dedicated Fable 5 profile:** Fable 5 is now available in Hermes. Because each Hermes profile is effectively its own agent, Finn recommends creating a separate profile just for Fable 5 and reserving it for complex, multi-step builds — not as a daily driver, since it is expensive. ## Commands & Code Mentioned ``` /ma # Mixture of Agents: orchestrator + ChatGPT + DeepSeek v4 (via OpenRouter), synthesized answer /learn # Turn a tweet, URL, or just-completed task into a reusable skill + memory /journey # Open the skill & memory graph for the current agent ``` Prompt Finn uses to create the Fable 5 profile: *"Please make a new Hermes profile called Oracle that uses the Fable 5 model from Claude. Let me know when that's set up so I can use it in Telegram."* ## More Hermes news [▶ Headroom + Ollama: Compress Agent Context to Cut Tokens Locally 2026-07-05](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-05-headroom-ollama-token-compression/) [▶ Hermes Agent OS Q&A: Fallback Keys, Skill Transfer & Mobile Access 2026-07-03](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-03-hermes-agent-os-command-center/) [▶ Hermes Agent V0.18 Judgement Release: Goal Loops and Mixture of Agents 2026-07-02](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-02-hermes-v0-18-judgement/) [▶ Hermes Agent Setup: Skills, Gateways, Tasks & Memory Walkthrough 2026-06-30](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-30-hermes-agent-setup-walkthrough/) [▶ Ornith: Open Agentic Coding Models (9B–397B) for Fully Local Agents 2026-06-26](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-26-ornith-local-agentic-coding-models/) [▶ Hermes Agent Now Runs Background Computer Use on Mac, Windows & Linux 2026-06-25](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-06-25-hermes-background-computer-use/) [See all Hermes news →](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/hermes/) ## Go deeper: Hermes guides Hands-on guides to put this into practice: [⚡ Quick Start — 20 Minutes](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/setup/) [🧠 Persistent Memory Architecture](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/memory/) [🗓 Long-Running Tasks & Scheduling](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/tasks/) [⚖️ Hermes vs OpenClaw](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/vs-openclaw/) [🧭 Compare Agents Which agent fits your use case — side-by-side.](https://openclawdatabase.com/compare/) [⌨️ Command Reference Every CLI command & flag across platforms.](https://openclawdatabase.com/commands/)
