It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\n\nWhat makes Hermes different:\n\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\n\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\n\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\n\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubuserco

I can see the problem. The `openrouter` custom provider entry is misplaced — it's sitting AFTER the `plugins:` section instead of inside `custom_providers:`. It would be parsed as a malformed list item under `plugins`, not as a provider. Let me also check the .env for the key and verify the file structure.
Confirmed. The `openrouter` provider block (lines 661-665) is orphaned after the `plugins:` section instead of being inside `custom_providers:`. Let me read the exact surrounding text and fix it.
I see the issue clearly. The `openrouter` provider block is orphaned after the `plugins:` section — it needs to be inside `custom_providers:`. I'll move it to the end of `custom_providers` (right before `plugins:`) and remove the orphaned block.

2026-07-31 21:11
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Fixed and verified. Here's what was wrong and what I did:
**Problem:** The `openrouter` custom provider block was orphaned after the `plugins:` section (lines 661-665), so YAML parsed it as a malformed list item under `plugins` instead of as a provider. It was never usable.
**Fix:** Moved the block into `custom_providers:` (now at lines 654-658, right after the `openai`/fireworks entry and before `plugins:`).
**Verification:**
- `openrouter in custom_providers: True` — now properly registered
- `plugins keys: ['enabled', 'disabled', 'entries']` — plugins section is clean, no stray provider leaking in
- YAML parses without errors
The openrouter provider is now available with model `accounts/openrouter/routers/glm-5p2`, using `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` from your .env. You can switch to it with `hermes model` or `hermes config set model.provider openrouter` + `hermes config set model.default accounts/openrouter/routers/glm-5p2` (requires a new session to take effect).

ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Now I understand the full picture. Let me explain what I found:
**The `provider_routing` section is correctly placed** — it's a top-level key at the end of the file, which is right. The syntax is valid:
```yaml
provider_routing:
only:
- deepinfra
- decart
```
**But it's doing nothing right now.** Per the docs, `provider_routing` ONLY works when your model provider is OpenRouter or Nous Portal — it controls which sub-providers behind OpenRouter handle your requests. Your current model is set to `deepinfra` as a direct connection:
```yaml
model:
default: zai-org/GLM-5.2
provider: deepinfra
base_url: https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai
```
This bypasses OpenRouter entirely, so the routing rules never fire.
To make `provider_routing.only: [deepinfra, decart]` actually take effect, you'd need to switch the model to use OpenRouter as the provider, with a model available on OpenRouter (like `zai-org/GLM-5.2`).
Before I change anything — this is a significant switch (different API key, different base URL, adds an OpenRouter hop in between you and DeepInfra):

Hmm, the individual model endpoint 404'd. Let me check the full model list entry for glm-5.2 to see the sub-providers.
I can see the model exists on OpenRouter as `z-ai/glm-5.2` with a 1M context window. Now let me check which sub-providers serve it — I need to verify that `deepinfra` and `decart` are valid provider slugs for this model.
Both `decart` and `deepinfra` are confirmed as sub-providers for `z-ai/glm-5.2` on OpenRouter. Now let me make the config changes. I need to switch the model section to use OpenRouter.
Good, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is set. Now let me check how Hermes resolves the OpenRouter provider — is it a built-in provider name (where the key is read from .env automatically) or does it need a custom_providers entry?
Looking at the skill: OpenRouter is a built-in provider with `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` env var. So I just need to change `model.provider` to `openrouter`, `model.default` to `z-ai/glm-5.2`, and remove `model.base_url` (OpenRouter's base URL is built-in). The `provider_routing.only: [deepinfra, decart]` will then take effect.
Let me also verify by checking the Hermes source for how OpenRouter is handled.

Now I have the complete picture. Here's what needs to change:
1. `model.provider`: `deepinfra` → `openrouter` (built-in provider, base URL auto-set to `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`)
2. `model.default`: `zai-org/GLM-5.2` → `z-ai/glm-5.2` (OpenRouter's slug for this model)
3. `model.base_url`: remove it (OpenRouter base URL is built-in via `OPENROUTER_BASE_URL` constant)
4. `provider_routing.only: [deepinfra, decart]`: already correct, stays as-is
Both `decart` and `deepinfra` are confirmed sub-providers for `z-ai/glm-5.2` on OpenRouter. Decart is cheaper (fp4, 50% discount, $0.60/$1.50 per M tokens) and DeepInfra is the fallback ($0.75/$2.40 per M tokens).

ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Working perfectly. The response shows:
- `"provider": "Decart"` — OpenRouter routed the request to Decart (the cheapest provider in your `only` list)
- The model is `z-ai/glm-5.2`
- The response came back successfully (the `null` content is just because max_tokens=20 was too small for the reasoning model — it spent all 20 tokens on reasoning before generating output)
Here's a summary of what I fixed:
1. **Moved the orphaned `openrouter` custom_providers entry** — it was sitting after the `plugins:` section, unreachable. Moved it into `custom_providers:` where it belongs.
2. **Switched the model from DeepInfra direct → OpenRouter** so `provider_routing` actually takes effect:
- `model.provider`: `deepinfra` → `openrouter`
- `model.default`: `zai-org/GLM-5.2` → `z-ai/glm-5.2` (OpenRouter's slug)
- `model.base_url`: removed (OpenRouter's `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` is built-in)
- `model.context_length`: `1000000` → `1048576` (OpenRouter's actual limit for this model)
3. **`provider_routing.only: [deepinfra, decart]`** — already correct, now actually fires. Verified live: OpenRouter routed to Decart (cheapest, 50% discount, fp4 quant, $0.60/M prompt $1.50/M completion) with DeepInfra as fallback.
The changes take effect on a new session (`/reset` in CLI, or restart the gateway). Note: OpenRouter adds a small markup over direct DeepInfra, but you get automatic failover between Decart and DeepInfra. Also note neither sub-provider supports implicit caching, so prompt caching savings will be lower than your direct DeepInfra connection.
