New @ToolUsePodcast episode by @MikeBirdTech is live and I had the pleasure of being part of it alongside @karan4d from @NousResearch and three other great builders.
We went deep on Hermes Agent: self-improving skills, ambient agents, why the harness matters as much as the model, and why open source AI must win.
I got to share some @WolfBenchAI insights and real-world use cases. Give it a listen on Spotify or watch it on YouTube - links in reply.
