The most comprehensive Hermes Desktop tutorial on the internet NOW is LIVE.
You'll learn sessions, profiles, artifacts, cost savings, and real use cases for making money and building startups with Hermes agents.
Whether you're already running Hermes or haven't started yet, this is the episode for you.
@AlexFinn says this is the moment Hermes overtakes OpenClaw. S/o to Alex for walking me through it.
"It's now the best way to use AI agents on your computer"
I do think the desktop app of Hermes looks almost like an Apple product.
Everything you need to know about Hermes Desktop App/agents in 43 minutes
This episode is 100% free. No ads. @startupideaspod
I just want to see you win on the internet. And I think Hermes can help.
Plus, It's fun thing to play with this weekend. Share this with a friend. Link below.

Yes, the GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer (GH-600 beta) is open to anyone.
Pass the proctored 120-min exam via Pearson VUE ($165). Currently in beta (results delayed ~8 weeks). No formal prerequisites, but GitHub/SDLC/AI agent experience helps.
Study guide & details: https://t.co/XcmRMOznZk
Anyone motivated can go for it.
GITHUB JUST CERTIFIED THE AI JOB OF THE FUTURE
* GH-600 formalizes the “Agentic AI Developer” role — engineers who build, supervise, and deploy AI agent systems
* As companies adopt agent-driven workflows, knowing how to orchestrate AI may become as valuable as writing code itself
THIS GIRL MADE $10,000 FROM CHILDREN’S CARTOONS ON YOUTUBE
And she did it without ever leaving her room
No team
No studio
No filming
No need to show her face
While most people think you need a camera, a studio and a team to make money on YouTube, all she needed was a laptop, YouTube and a bit of imagination
She found a children’s cartoon with millions of views and noticed an interesting detail: the channel featured neither the creator’s face, nor a personal brand, nor complex production
So she decided to replicate the format using AI
Neural networks helped create characters, animation, bright colours and simple storylines that children are happy to watch over and over again
It took just a few minutes to create a new video
She uploaded the clip and went about her business
Meanwhile, YouTube’s algorithms began promoting the content, views grew, and with them, her income
The most interesting thing is that she didn���t come up with this idea from scratch
She simply found a format that was already working and adapted it for her own channel
Within a few months, this approach was already bringing her $10,000 a month
The easiest way to find out which models you can run on your computer:
1) Install
npm install -g llm-checker
2) Detect your hardware
llm-checker hw-detect
3) Get recommendations by category
llm-checker recommend --category coding
Credits to @svpino for bringing this to my attention. I found it super useful and thought of sharing it with you all.
Here are some of the recommendations I got:
Anthropic recently updated its Claude prompt library, and 99% of people missed it.
The Anthropic team uploaded dozens of prompts across security, planning, debugging, automation, marketing & much more.
All optimized for the latest Claude models.

Hermes Workspace becomes way more powerful when you stop using one model for everything.
Because different jobs need different brains.
Here’s the setup:
→ Run Hermes model
→ Add multiple providers
→ Sync models into Workspace
→ Switch depending on the task
→ Run swarms when work gets bigger
Examples:
✔ Claude for reasoning.
✔ Grok for media tasks.
✔ Hermes for automation.
✔ Local models as backups.
✔ Agent swarms for parallel work.
Save this video, you’ll stop forcing one AI model to do everything.

KARPATHY FOUND A WAY TO CUT LLM TOKEN COSTS BY 70 TO 90% AND DIDN'T PUBLISH IT AS A PAPER. HE BUILT IT AS A SYSTEM ANYONE CAN REPLICATE IN ONE AFTERNOON.
Three folders, clean Markdown, a knowledge graph in Obsidian and your tokens stop burning from that point forward.
The power revolution is next:
Annual thermal power plant additions surged +70% YoY in 2025, to ~92 gigawatts, the largest annual increase since data began in 2008.
This is also +28% above the prior peak of ~72 gigawatts set in 2015.
The pipeline of future plants is growing even faster, with Chinese firms submitting approval requests for 51 gigawatts of new coal capacity in Q1 2026 alone.
At this pace, 2026 is on track to surpass the record 162 gigawatts of new proposals filed across the full year of 2025.
This comes as China continues to promote coal as a reliable backup when wind and solar power are unavailable, while simultaneously pledging that coal use will peak before 2030.
Meanwhile, China is also aggressively expanding nuclear capacity, with 39 reactors currently under construction, nearly 5 times more than India, which is in 2nd place, at 8 reactors.
Energy is the next hot commodity.
