The strongest models are gated and access is granted only to a select few. Hermes Agent now exposes MoA presets as virtual models, giving you capabilities beyond the publicly available frontier: 8% higher than Opus 4.8 and 11% higher than GPT 5.5 on our upcoming benchmark.

Aloha! 🌺 Meet Ornith-1.0, a family of open-source LLMs specialized for agentic coding. Ornith-1.0 spans the full parameter sizes including 9B Dense, 31B Dense, 35B MoE, and 397B MoE. It achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size on coding benchmarks including: ✅Terminal-Bench 2.1(77.5) ✅SWE-Bench(82.4 on verified, 62.2 on pro, 78.9 on Multilingual) ✅NL2Repo(48.2) ✅SWE Atlas(41.2 on QnA, 42.6 RF, 39.1 TW) ✅ClawEval(77.1) Post-trained on top of gemma4 and qwen3.5, Ornith-1.0 employs a novel self-improving training strategy in which reinforcement learning is used to generate not only solution rollouts, but also the task-specific scaffolds that drive those rollouts. By jointly optimizing the scaffold and the resulting solution, the model generate higher-quality solutions in agentic coding.😎 All models are released under the MIT license, enabling full commercial and research use. 📖Tech Blog: deep-reinforce.com/ornith_1_0.html 🤗Huggingface: huggingface.co/collections/de…
What price would you pay for starlink per hour on a flight? (Just did this at dinner — answers for VCs was interesting) [ Will reveal dinner conversation in comments in a couple hours ]
7am flight out of SFO - Leave house 1h before flight leaves - 13 min Uber to airport, views of the Bay - TSA agent smiles asks if you like the Grateful Dead - Ads for AI agents that cure cancer - Multiple food options spanning global cuisines - 2 min walk to gate - Get upgraded to business class - Depart 5 min early 7am flight out of JFK - Leave house 3h before flight leaves - 73 minute Uber to airport, bumper to bumper traffic - TSA agent hates you - Ads for underwear - No food options besides Jamba Juice and hardboiled eggs - 17 min walk to gate - Get downgraded to seat next to bathroom - Depart 2 hours late
