Nous Research brings Hermes Agent to RTX Spark laptop setup

Nous Research announced on October 16 that Hermes Agent is participating in the launch of Nvidia's RTX Spark laptops. The company said owners can select Hermes during Windows' integrated agent setup and complete a new generative onboarding process. It supports work using either local models or cloud services..

Nvidia says Hermes' local configuration process detects the graphics hardware and selects a suitable model and settings. It uses an integrated inference engine to reduce the need for manual downloads and configuration. Hermes can retain information between sessions and develop reusable skills as it performs tasks..

The launch follows earlier collaboration between Nous Research and Nvidia on RTX Spark support. Nous said that work included integration with OpenShell, which connects the agent to Microsoft security controls. The partnership brings Hermes into the setup experience of the new laptops as they reach customers..
