@viemccoy I've been saying this for a long time. Gemini 3.x is great at teaching/explaining/paraphrasing

@geoffreylitt @mschoening Subscribed!

@Teknium next would be to use generative UIs (like @CopilotKit )

Useful pattern I am lately using for coding/agentic work. After the agent writes a plan or finishes an implementation, ask it: "delegate to a sub-agent to perform adversarial review and implement its feedback"

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

@ianjcam @Teknium @NousResearch As I said, my suggestion doesn't change this. Hermes can still ship with all the skills Nous Research wants. My suggestion is about making this not bloat the context window

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

Relevant paper (released a few days ago) https://t.co/NsU5r0Rahm
Probably something to include in Hermes Agent, @Teknium @NousResearch

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Hermes Agent comes with a truly absurd number of skills pre-enabled. Over 100 of them. This is roughly half.

I get what they're going for - they want an agent that comes "ready out of the box".

I just don't get why every user has to have a polymarket skill, 3 baoyu art skills (? never heard of this), a headless Pokemon skill, and Minecraft modpack server skills, all available the first time they run it.

I guess Hermes Agent just isn't for me.

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

@ianjcam @Teknium @NousResearch It is relevant because there's a grain of truth in his claims but we can have our cake and eat it too (i.e. keeping on having tons of skills without bloat)

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

@NousResearch @Teknium I might be missing something, but Curator seems focused on maintaining the skill catalog. The paper’s point is about context construction at run-time: even with a good catalog, injecting too many or overlapping skills can hurt, so the agent needs task-specific selection

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

We are all burning API credits trying to scrape X to avoid FOMO on the AI discourse. Turns out the new Digg does exactly what we’re all trying to achieve with OpenClaw or Hermes, but at a much higher execution level. And it's free. Kudos to @kevinrose 👏

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

@astrogu_ @NousResearch something worth implementing in Hermes Agent?

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

@did0f It's a very good one (I tried so many of them!)

@zetalyrae "[...] the returns to education are now higher, because intelligent, educated people with working reward circuitry stand to gain more from AI."

Just look at the questions @tylercowen asks ChatGPT to see exactly how true this is

Thank you for ruining my day, @bol_com . Never again

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

The weirdest thing about the Netherlands is how such a developed, orderly country can still produce such consistently useless customer service experiences

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

Easy to see how @amazon_nl is going to eat @bol_com's lunch in the long run

[Alex @theAlexFerrari]

@austinmwelch5 @jeremyphoward So you're saying that you can test them, in *parallel*?! badum tss 😂
