Anyone running Hermes on Mac Mini M4 24Gb Strictly Local LLM?

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. Plain version: Shipping was delayed but FINALLY had delivery of my Mac Mini ordered months ago.

Why you might care

Directly relevant to your agent stack. This can affect Hermes behavior, upgrade timing, plugins, gateway surfaces, or ideas worth stealing for OAC/DestructoR666.

Source excerpt

Shipping was delayed but FINALLY had delivery of my Mac Mini ordered months ago. I'd like to go straight local LLM after initial setup, but everything I've read makes it sound like it will be too slow or too dumb and I'll be forced to go with at least a cheaper china model for functionality. Anyone running LLM on a setup like this and care to share what mod…

Hermes now lets you stack frontier models into one virtual model. On Nous Research's own benchmark it beats Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5.

Editor's read

A Reddit field report/discussion from r/hermesagent. A title-first lead about: Hermes now lets you stack frontier models into one virtual model. On Nous Research's own benchmark it beats Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5.. Skim it only if that maps to current agent/tooling work. Treat it as user-signal and pain-report radar, not gospel.

best local coding-agent model for my setup (web dev use case)
