Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale. He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt. Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world. At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.

Hermes Agent is a launch partner for @nvidia's RTX Spark across the new generation of laptops. Pick it in the built-in @Windows agent setup flow, run the new generative onboarding, and get straight to work locally or in the cloud. Linus is impressed!

Hermes Agent is the best place to use the new @NVIDIAAI Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Bolt models. NVIDIA benchmarked Super VL on Hermes Bench with a score of 63.44, and compared to similar local models it has up to 5x the token throughput.
Meet NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL Our new open model combines reasoning and tool use with text, image, document, and video understanding for long-running AI agents. 120B total parameters with 12B active 🧵

We're thrilled to be leading the Series B for @NousResearch, alongside @nvidia, @M12vc, and @ycombinator. Many want to regulate or ban open-weight models. But demand for open frontier intelligence is insatiable. Enterprises and users alike want an agent that grows alongside them, and that's exactly what Hermes Agent does. In just six months, Hermes Agent drives > 2.5% of all tokens consumed globally. Hermes itself has been cloned over 24 million times. We're proud to be working with @dillonrolnick, @karan4d, @Teknium, and the team to make sovereign intelligence available to everyone.
As reported in the @WSJ, we have raised a Series B to bring Hermes Agent to new frontiers (and, yes, build a mobile app) Thank you to our investors including @nvidia @M12vc @SamsungNext @robotventures @usv @ycombinator @MenloVentures, among others wsj.com/pro/venture-capital/…
