Hermes supports multiple inference providers. Pick one to get going:
|
After installing, connect Hermes to an LLM provider. The quickest way:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Option A — Nous Portal (subscription):**
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
```bash
|
||||||
hermes login # Opens browser to authenticate with Nous Portal
|
hermes login # Log in with your Nous Portal account (opens browser)
|
||||||
hermes # Start chatting!
|
hermes # Start chatting!
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Option B — OpenRouter (pay-per-use, 100+ models):**
|
Don't have a Nous Portal account? Use `hermes model` to set up **OpenRouter** (100+ models, pay-per-use API key) or a **custom endpoint** (VLLM, SGLang, or any OpenAI-compatible API) instead. You can switch providers and models at any time by running `hermes model` again.
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
hermes model # Interactive provider & model selector
|
|
||||||
# → choose OpenRouter, paste your API key, pick a model
|
|
||||||
hermes # Start chatting!
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Option C — Custom endpoint (VLLM, SGLang, etc.):**
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
hermes model # → choose Custom endpoint, enter URL + API key + model name
|
|
||||||
hermes # Start chatting!
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can switch providers and models at any time with `hermes model`.
