Today, we got so many updates. We got Hermes, Agent and Claude. We got Grok 4.7, Xiaomi, Mimo V26, and then Grok 4.7 as well. So some big updates. And we're just going to run through them all. So let's kick it off with Hermes, Agent. Basically, Hermes, Agent and Claude, you couldn't use them together before, but now you can. So what that means essentially is if you already subscribed to, for example, Claude, like you see we've got over here, with Claude, we can actually go over to Hermes, we can create a new profile, and then we can use Claude SDK directly inside Hermes Agent, which is awesome because that just basically means you can now use an AI agent with your Claude subscription, which you couldn't do before. And this is an official plugin. Some people are scared of getting banned for using Claude Opus with Hermes. And after that, a couple of months ago, Claude outright said, literally, it's not going to work. You can't use Claude with Hermes Agent. And it's pretty good. So what I recommend is if you're using Hermes with Claude, you can set up as a new profile. You can just go inside your dashboard with Hermes Agent. So we can go to the Manage section here, which is where we can manage our Hermes Agent. And then what I would recommend is that you create a new profile. So if you go to Profiles, or you can just ask your agent to do this, click on Create, you can get Hermes Agent. And then for example, we can have Hermes Agent with Claude Opus, but we can have all of our separate profiles together with Hermes, right? So I've got for each model, I have different Hermes Agents, so I can sort of test and compare them. I can use three models, local models, however I want to. And then if I want to switch, we've got Claude inside the Agent OS there. So that is Hermes with SDK, awesome update. We can use it with all of our workflows. For example, I have Hermes Muse, and that's analyzing our latest content. They're giving me new content ideas, like you can see right here, but we could do exactly the same with Hermes Astros, and we can use this for coming up with competitor content ideas as well. So I basically automatically analyze some of my competitors, and then pause in the details of that.

Really awesome. Now, there's also another update, which is called Grok 4.7. So Grok 4.7 from SpaceX, from Elon Musk has just dropped, and I actually tested that out. So far, it's okay.

I wouldn't say it's the best model I've ever tested. So if I had to compare this against Claude, or for example, against a GPT-6 Astra. I mean, you can see the differences here, but I would genuinely say like Grok 4.7, it was a big step up from Grok 4.6, but it was not quite as good as Claude Fable 5, or 5.1, or GPT-6 Astra. So just so you understand that, I just want to be very clear, I'm not switching my frontier model anytime. However, what it is really good for, is again, you can plug it into Hermes agent. So for example, we have Hermes Oracle here. It's analyzing the latest news in our industry every 24 hours. And then what we can do from here is we can quickly create content. Based on that trend in tweet, we can then draft that content for social media posts, or we can publish it to our SEO websites. So you can see here, we can publish content early to our websites, and we can look at our previous history from the previous days. So basically, the biggest benefit of Grok 4.7 is that number one, if you already subscribed to Twitter, well, you can use his Twitter subscription with Hermes agent, which is awesome because then you don't have to pay anything, you don't have to pay for the API. The same, for example, inside Grok build. So if you don't have Grok build already, I have it inside our agent to go as which you can find right here, but I can basically switch between Grok 4.7, 4.7 fast, 4.6, 4.5, which is pretty nice. And everything that I create with all of these different AI agents is plugged into my workspace. So I can find it later, and we can come back to whenever we want to. So this is really, really useful because now essentially, you can just have an extra API for free if you already subscribe to Twitter, right?

I probably wouldn't use Grok 4.7 apart from that. However, if you need a cheap frontier model on API, it's a lot cheaper than Claude Faber 5 If you actually have a look at the numbers here, and we go up to the numbers, the costs are basically $2 in and $6 out, which is way cheaper than Grok.
