Nvidia + Hermes Agent is Insane (FREE!)

NVIDIA Nemotron-3 Ultra Is Free in Hermes Agent (Setup + Why It Matters)The script introduces NVIDIA Nemotron-3 Ultra, a newly released open-source 550B mixture-of-experts frontier model now available for free for two weeks through News Portal and usable inside Hermes Agent. It explains that the model is designed for long-running agentic work (planning, tool use, failure recovery) and is advertised as five times faster while using 30% fewer tokens on agent tasks by activating only the needed experts. The walkthrough shows how to enable it via Hermes Agent’s new Mission Control dashboard by going to Manage → Models and selecting Nemotron-3 Ultra, then testing it in chat. It highlights potential benefits for Hermes “goal mode,” mentions benchmark comparisons against GLM 5.1, Qwen 3.5, and others, and notes it’s also available on Hugging Face for local hosting.00:00 Nemotron Free Drop00:37 Mission Control Setup00:59 Why It Matters01:48 MoE Speed Explained02:49 Three Step Install03:25 Real World Tests04:18 Goal Mode Power05:16 Benchmarks Breakdown06:07 Wrap Up Recap06:13 Community Pitch07:06 Final Goodbye
