Grok subscriptions now work inside Hermes Agent
A consumer Grok subscription can now plug straight into a persistent open-source agent with memory and multimodal output.
Starting today, you can use your Grok subscription directly inside Hermes Agent.
That means:
- Grok 4.3 for text conversations and reasoning
- Grok Text-to-Speech for spoken responses
- Grok Imagine for image and video generation
Hermes Agent is Nous Research’s open-source, self-improving agent. It runs persistently on any computer, sandbox or VPS, builds memory across sessions, and can plug into surfaces like WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram and Signal.
The useful bit is not just “new model support.” It is that a normal consumer subscription can now power a persistent open-source agent without a separate API setup.
