You’re Using Hermes The Wrong Way

Hey Marco, all right, great question. So, Hermes and Claude Pro Max, is there a sanction way to run this without paying per token? I'll tell you what you can do, what you can't do, and how to get around this stuff, all right? So, let's open this up, let's go to here. So, when it comes to Claude and your Claude subscription, you can't use your Claude subscription directly with Hermes. They actually banned it, the same with OpenClaude, they banned that out. So, Hermes Claude banned, you can see here, here's an example, right? They banned like a third party. Now, what you can do instead is if you are inside Claude, you can get Claude to orchestrate Hermes, which is different. So, that means that Claude can still operate Hermes for you, but the difference here is that when you're using it, it's actually going to run on a different model inside Hermes directly. So, for example, you could get free API, or you could get cheap one like DeepSea 4.1 Flash, and you could use that as a brain inside Hermes, and then you can get Claude to orchestrate it for you. Now, if you're wondering how to get Claude to orchestrate for you, it's pretty simple. So, you would just go inside a new chat here, and you'd be like, okay, can you ask Hermes agent to just research the latest AI automation news? So, you can see here, we can start a new session inside Claude code, and then it will start orchestrating Hermes agent for us. You can do exactly the same with Chat Cheapity as well. So, if you prefer to use this inside Codex or Chat Cheapity, you can do the same thing here and ask it to use Hermes agent for you. But the main point here is that you can't use your main subscription as the brain of Hermes agent, but that doesn't matter because Claude code can pretty much do everything anyway.

But you can get it to orchestrate your AI agents for you. So, you can see here that it's running a command to use Hermes agent. It's asked Hermes agent to research the latest AI automation news, and it's now running the background. So, you can see here that Claude is now operating Hermes agent for us. Also, just something that's really useful to know, you can actually use your Chat Cheaper T subscription. So, you can use Astra 6 or 5.6 Sol, for example, directly with Hermes agent as a brain. So, if you do want a subscription that you're paying for, that you can plug in as a brain into Hermes agent, you can't use Claude, but you can use Chat Cheaper T, which is a huge benefit to Chat Cheaper T, by the way. So, hope that helps, and if you need any finance, feel free to reach out. Thanks.
