Hermes Agent (Hermes Intelligent Agent) has for the first time surpassed OpenClaw on the global token consumption ranking, securing the top position. This achievement demonstrates the rapid rise of Hermes Agent in the intelligent agent field, especially in calling the top five models, including Xiaomi's MiMo-V2-Pro, MiniMax M2.7, NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Super, Step Star's Step 3.5 Flash, and Tencent's Hy3 preview.

Hermes Agent is an intelligent agent framework developed and open-sourced by the Silicon Valley AI research institution Nous Research. Since its release in February 2026, it has received over 100,000 stars on GitHub and has been widely popular. The project's official positioning is that Hermes Agent is a digital assistant that continuously learns and evolves with use, aiming to provide users with smarter services.

Hermes Agent features a self-evolving skill system that automatically analyzes execution trajectories after completing tasks, extracts high-frequency operation patterns, and encapsulates them into reusable skills. This allows 65% of new tasks to directly call existing skills after continuous operation for three months. Additionally, Hermes Agent's four-layer memory mechanism ensures that it can still remember user preferences, historical tasks, and goals even after device restarts or platform switches.

This intelligent agent supports multiple execution environments, including local sandboxes, Docker containers, SSH remote access, ensuring the security of sensitive tasks. In addition, Hermes Agent integrates mainstream instant messaging platforms such as Telegram, Discord, and Slack, allowing users to connect simply by scanning a code.

Compared to the well-known OpenClaw, Hermes Agent focuses on a "self-evolving learning cycle," demonstrating stronger dynamism. OpenClaw is known for its rich community skill store and high controllability, but Hermes Agent lowers the usage threshold for users through skill reuse and simplified installation processes, making it particularly suitable for individual users.

Key Points:

🌟 Hermes Agent has for the first time surpassed OpenClaw and become the global token consumption champion!  

🚀 It has a self-evolving skill system that can automatically analyze tasks and reuse skills.  

🔒 It supports multiple execution environments, ensuring the security of users' sensitive tasks.
