Async Hermes Agent v0.20.2
Native-async, library-focused distribution based on NousResearch Hermes Agent v2026.8.3 (v0.20.0). This release completes the retained runtime migration while preserving upstream core module paths and public names.
Highlights:
- Keeps
AIAgent,run_conversation(),chat(),close(),SessionDB, runner, and batch-runner names in their existing locations; I/O-bearing calls are awaited. - Runs the retained model, tool, MCP, skill, memory, session, trajectory, delegation, runner, and batch-runner paths with native asyncio.
- Preserves prompt-cache stability, role alternation, ordered tool observations, interleaved reasoning, trajectory shape, checkpoint/resume behavior, and session persistence.
- Uses lazy awaited provider, plugin, MCP, and database initialization while keeping
AIAgent.__init__()state-only. - Serializes concurrent turns on one agent instance and allows separate agents to run concurrently.
- Removes the product-only CLI/TUI, desktop/dashboard, messaging, cron, and bundled web-service surfaces from this library distribution.
- Provides no sync wrapper,
asyncio.to_thread()fallback,run_until_complete(), or blocking.result()path in the retained runtime.
Compatibility note:
- This is an async-only distribution. Existing Hermes library integrations normally keep their imports and function names, then add
awaitto I/O-bearing calls. - It is intentionally a divergent library distribution, not a drop-in replacement for the full synchronous upstream product.
Verification:
- GitHub CI: 794 test files, 8,079 tests passed, 0 failed.
- Ruff and native-async static audits passed, including
flake8-asyncchecks for blocking calls and unawaited async APIs. - Event-loop blocking, task-leak, cancellation, session, Skill, MCP, and ordered trajectory contracts passed.
- Wheel and sdist builds passed
twine check. - The wheel installed in an isolated Python 3.13 environment and exposed the expected coroutine API from site-packages.
