Rest in peace Oliver Tree Nickell June 29th, 1993 - June 14th, 2026
Your legacy will live on forever ❤️ Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shown love, support and has done incredible tributes for Oliver. The constant love, support and positivity is helping the family, friends and collaborators make it through these extremely difficult times.
Oliver is now back in California where he can finally rest. His legacy will live on through his foundation/endowment named “Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses” coming soon. This is something that Oliver had put together before his passing, written in his will. We will make sure his wish comes to fruition so that more joy, love and art can be spread into the world, that was his final wish.
Love you all so much, Oliver would be so proud of every one of his supporters, friends and family.
Peace be with Oliver … ❤️
Hermes Agent v0.17.0 just dropped
This is The Reach Release.
Hermes is no longer just getting smarter.
It is getting closer to where people actually work.
iMessage.
WhatsApp.
Telegram.
Desktop.
Async agents.
Image editing.
Team sharing.
Here’s what actually matters ↓
1. iMessage support via Photon
No Mac relay.
No BlueBubbles setup.
Just:
hermes photon login
Hermes can now send and receive iMessage through Photon.
If you live in blue bubbles, this is a big one.
2. Raft agent network integration
Hermes can now join the Raft agent network as a gateway channel.
Privacy-first wake system.
Other agents can reach Hermes without exposing full message content.
That matters a lot as agent networks start becoming real.
3. Desktop app is becoming a daily driver
The desktop app got a serious upgrade.
• Rebindable shortcuts
• Native notifications
• Live subagent watch windows
• VS Code themes
• Resizable terminal
• Composer presets
• RTL support
This is starting to feel like a real command center.
Not just a wrapper.
4. Background subagents
This might be one of the biggest workflow upgrades.
delegate_task(background=true)
Now your main agent can delegate work and keep moving.
Research.
Builds.
Long-running tasks.
Analysis.
The subagent works in the background and returns results later.
No more waiting around.
5. Image editing is here
image_generate now supports image-to-image editing.
Upload an image.
Give it instructions.
Let the agent edit.
Examples:
• Make this logo blue
• Remove the background
• Change the style
• Modify this asset
This unlocks a lot for creative workflows.
6. Automation and sharing got better
A lot landed here.
• Automation Blueprints
• Cursor Composer model via xAI Grok subscription
• Full profile builder in the dashboard
• Skills Hub with previews and security scans
• Atomic batch memory operations
• Official WhatsApp Business Cloud API support
• Rich text on Telegram
• Curator now costs zero tokens on routine runs
This is the kind of release that makes Hermes easier to use, easier to share, and easier to trust.
Huge stability, security, and desktop improvements throughout.
How to update:
Run hermes update
This release really does feel like Hermes is reaching everywhere.
THIS IS INSANE 🚨 @olivertree (Alienboy records) made a full length Antarctica Documentary (screened TWO WEEKS before the crash), Not publicly released. He spent "300" days in Antarctica investigating the UAP and Alien BASES there. A recording of the screening was just posted.
I have been studying the science of manifestation for over two decades.
Ancient texts. Quantum physics. Neuroscience. Mystery school teachings.
And the number one reason most people never manifest what they truly want has nothing to do with their goals, their vision boards, or how hard they want it.
It has everything to do with the myths they were sold about how manifestation actually works.
Here are 10 of them:
Imagine drafting both of them in the same draft
Deciding you want neither of them
Only getting one 1st rounder, 29 games of Anthony Davis, and Max Christie in return
