The new Hermes Agent update officially ended OpenClaw
TL;DR
Mixture of Agents delivers better answers: Type /MA to send your prompt to ChatGPT and DeepSeek v4 simultaneously, then let your main model synthesize their responses into one higher-quality answer based on research benchmarks.
Slash Learn turns anything into a skill: Paste a tweet URL or run it after any task, and Hermes automatically creates a reusable skill from it, eliminating manual skill creation entirely.
Vibe coding now has full git integration: You can view diffs, make commits, and open pull requests directly inside Hermes desktop, making it a viable Claude Code replacement.
Fable 5 is for complex tasks, not daily use: Set up a dedicated profile for Fable 5 when you need superior coding or multi-device orchestration, but stick to cheaper models for routine work.
Self-improvement got cheaper: Background tasks like creating memories and skills now delegate to cheaper models automatically, addressing a major cost complaint.
Summary
Hermes Agent's latest update introduces mixture of agents for synthesized multi-model responses, automatic skill creation from any URL, and full git-integrated vibe coding that makes it a complete replacement for tools like OpenClaw.

Cheap Models, Hard Tasks
Most agent workflows route every step to the frontier model by default. The bill scales with how chatty the agent gets, even when most steps don't need that brain.
