Hermes Local 0.17.0

The first public Hermes Local release: a Windows-native, loopback-only
workstation built on the official NousResearch Hermes Agent, CUDA-enabled
llama.cpp, and Laguna XS 2.1 Q4_K_M.

Highlights

  • Packaged Hermes Launcher control centre with Home, Services, TUI, Web
    Dashboard, Models, Profiles, Tasks, Tools, Memory, Sessions, Projects, Logs,
    Benchmarks, Security and About surfaces.
  • Supervised authenticated model and Hermes services bound only to
    127.0.0.1.
  • Real Windows ConPTY/xterm.js Hermes TUI.
  • Resumable verified model provisioning, repair, diagnostics, backup/restore,
    update and rollback scripts.
  • Measured Daily/Research 64K and Deep Research 80K profiles.
  • Threat model, repeatable security scan, licence inventory and CycloneDX
    SBOM.

Install

The attached installer and portable executable contain the Hermes Launcher
control centre. They do not bundle the 20 GB Laguna model or
project-managed runtimes.

Clone the repository to D:\Hermes-Local and run
Setup-Hermes-Local.ps1 -NonInteractive first. See the
installation guide.

These locally built binaries are not Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show
a SmartScreen warning. Verify the checksums before running them.
