Hermes Agent: Nous Research's MIT-Licensed AI Framework With Persistent Memory
Nous Research says its Hermes Agent is an MIT-licensed autonomous AI framework designed to retain long-term memory across sessions and turn completed tasks into reusable skills. The project launched in February 2026 and quickly reached 22,000 GitHub stars with 242 contributors, positioning it as an alternative for users who want less manual memory setup than Openclaw. Updates continued into late March 2026 with Hermes v0.6.0 adding MCP support and typed SDK workflows.
