Hermes Agent v0.15.0 has launched with a blockchain upgrade that reduces the run_agent.py file from 16,083 to 3,821 lines—a 76% reduction. The code is now organized into 14 highly cohesive modules. Cold-start time in Termux has dropped to 0.8 seconds, and hermes --version now executes in 258 milliseconds, a 63% improvement. The session_search tool now uses local filtering, cutting search time to 20 milliseconds—4,500 times faster. The kanban tool has evolved into a full multi-agent platform. Bitwarden and xAI Web Search are now supported for API key management and network upgrade integration.
ME AI News: According to monitoring by Beating, the NousResearch team has officially released the open-source agent project Hermes Agent v0.15.0. The core run_agent.py codebase has been drastically reduced by 76% from 16,083 lines to 3,821 lines and fully restructured into 14 highly cohesive modules, eliminating editor lag. For cold-start and search performance, the development team reduced Termux terminal cold-start time to 0.8 seconds and improved hermes --version speed by 63% to 258 milliseconds by deferring OpenAI dependency loading and optimizing high-frequency function calls. The redesigned session_search tool eliminates large model calls, replacing them with configuration-free local filtering, reducing search time to just 20 milliseconds—a 4,500x speedup with zero operational cost. The dashboard tool has been upgraded into a full multi-agent collaboration platform: developers can now initialize a Swarm workflow with a coordinator, parallel workers, independent verification, and synthesis nodes by simply entering "hermes kanban swarm," with added support for single-task model coverage and scheduled startup. On the security front, the new version introduces proactive threat defense against Brainworm attacks, implementing traffic filtering and boundary marking at three critical checkpoints—tool output, memory recall, and external skill loading—to prevent agents from being compromised by malicious files or network services. The ecosystem and third-party integrations have also seen deep upgrades: the system now supports centralized cloud API key management via Bitwarden, introduces a toolset that can load multiple skills with a single command, and adds an interactive installation panel for the official Nous MCP service directory. Integration with the xAI ecosystem includes a new xAI Web Search plugin, enables Grok-specific execution guidance within the hermes proxy, and allows hermes doctor diagnostics to automatically alert for linear models and support one-click hot migration. To address critical bugs present at launch, the team rapidly released patch version v0.15.1 within hours, completely resolving the infinite 401 reload loop in loopback mode, fixing path resolution failures for bare commands like npx inside Docker containers, and ensuring Kanban worker threads terminate properly under SIGTERM signals.
