GitHub·medium signal

Nous Research's Hermes Agent v0.2.0 (March 12 2026) ships persistent cross-session memory, automatic skill generation when it solves novel problems, and a unified messaging gateway covering Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and Email — all under MIT license. The v0.2.0 release covers 216 merged PRs from 63 contributors resolving 119 issues, with 70+ bundled skills and filesystem checkpoints with rollback before destructive operations. This is the most complete open-source agent framework with commercial-grade features that closed platforms typically gatekeep.
