Hermes

Connect

Install Hermes if needed.
Download a compatible model in Magnitude.
Open Connections → Hermes and click Connect.
Select a downloaded model on the connected card, then click the command to copy it.
Paste it into your terminal from your project folder. On Windows, use PowerShell.

Magnitude adds a custom provider named magnitude. The command below starts Hermes with a model from that provider.

Run Hermes

After connecting in Magnitude, start Hermes with:

hermes --provider custom:magnitude --model MODEL_ID

Replace MODEL_ID with the exact model ID, such as gemma-4-e2b-it-qat:gguf:q4, rather than its display name. The command shown in Connections already includes the correct ID for your selected model, so you can copy it without editing. Keep Magnitude running; it loads the model when the agent requests it.

Configuration

Connect writes ~/.hermes/config.yaml. Location overrides: HERMES_HOME.

On another computer

In Magnitude, turn on Settings → Network access.
On the other computer, open http://ADDRESS:10100 in a browser, using the address from Reachable at, and sign in with the API key.
In Connections, click Copy setup prompt on Hermes and send it to your agent.

Edit the files yourself

Use the address from Reachable at for ADDRESS and the API key for API_KEY. ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

providers:
  magnitude:
    name: Magnitude
    base_url: http://ADDRESS:10100/inference/v1
    api_key: API_KEY
    transport: chat_completions
model:
  provider: custom:magnitude
  default: MODEL_ID
