01What Is Claude and Hermes Agent Integration

Claude and Hermes Agent integration lets you use your Claude subscription with the Hermes Agent AI agent. Before, you could not use them together. Now, with an official plugin, you can connect Claude SDK directly inside Hermes Agent.

This means you can build AI workflows that use Claude’s power. You no longer need to pay extra for a separate API. If you already pay for Claude, you can now use it with Hermes Agent without any fear of being banned.

The integration works with all your existing Hermes workflows. For example, Hermes Muse can analyze your latest content and give you new ideas. You can do the same with Hermes Astros for competitor analysis.

02Main Features of the Update

This update brings several new features and models. Here are the key ones:

  • Claude is now officially supported in Hermes Agent.
  • Grok 4.7 from SpaceX is now available, with a bigger context window of 500k.
  • Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 Pro and Flash are new frontier-level open-source models.
  • You can use Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 Flash for free with OpenCode.
  • Grok 4.7 can pull the latest news from Twitter inside Hermes Agent.
  • All these models can be plugged into your Agent OS for a unified workflow.

These features let you switch between models easily. You can test and compare them without leaving your workspace.

03How to Set Up Claude with Hermes Agent

Setting up Claude with Hermes Agent is simple. Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Hermes Agent dashboard.
  2. Go to the manage section.
  3. Click on profiles and then create a new profile.
  4. Select Claude as your model (for example, Claude Opus).
  5. Connect your Claude SDK or subscription.
  6. Save the profile and start using it.

I recommend creating a separate profile for each model. This way you can keep your setups clean and compare results easily. You can use free models, local models, or any other model you have access to.

04How to Use Grok 4.7 with Hermes Agent

Grok 4.7 is now available in Hermes Agent. If you have a Twitter subscription, you can use it without paying extra for an API. This is a huge advantage.

You can create workflows like Hermes Oracle, which analyzes the latest news in your industry every 24 hours. Then you can quickly turn that trending tweet into social media content or publish it to your SEO websites.

Inside Hermes Agent, you can switch between Grok 4.7, 4.7 fast, 4.6, and 4.5. Everything you create is saved in your workspace, so you can find it later.

Grok 4.7 is the only model that can search Twitter directly. Use it to find the latest news, analyze competitors, and see what is happening in your industry right now.

05Using Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 Pro and Flash

Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 comes in two versions: Pro and Flash. Both are frontier-level, meaning they are as good as GPT 5.6 and Claude Opus 5.

You can use MIMO V2.6 Flash for free with OpenCode. This gives you a frontier-level model for coding without paying anything. OpenCode is a free AI coder that you can plug into Hermes Agent.

Inside the Agent OS, you can switch between Pro and Flash, and use a feature called deep mode. You can code on one side and see a preview on the other. Everything you create is saved as a build, so you can review it later.

Since MIMO V2.6 is open source, it is one of the most powerful open-source models in the world. You can create websites, games, and apps, or automate tasks.

06Results and Comparisons from the Episode

In this episode, Julian tested Grok 4.7 and compared it to other models. He found that Grok 4.7 is a big step up from Grok 4.6, but it is not as good as Claude Fable 5 or 5.1, or Jeep 6 Astra.

When it comes to cost, Grok 4.7 is cheaper than Claude. The input cost is $2, and the output cost is $6. Claude is about $5 for input and $10 for output, making it almost three times more expensive for input and nearly twice for output.

Grok 4.7 also has a larger context window of 500k, which is bigger and better than before.

Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 Pro and Flash are frontier-level models, but no specific benchmark numbers were given in the episode.

07Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Here are some tips and warnings from the episode:

  • Do not worry about getting banned when using Claude with Hermes now – it is official.
  • Create separate profiles for each model to keep your tests clean.
  • Grok 4.7 is not the best frontier model, so do not switch your main model if you rely on quality.
  • Use Grok 4.7 mainly for its Twitter search feature and cheap API.
  • Use Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 Flash for free coding with OpenCode.
  • Plug everything into your Agent OS to keep your work organized and efficient.

One mistake to avoid is paying for extra APIs when you already have a subscription. For example, Grok 4.7 works with your Twitter subscription, and Claude works with your Claude subscription.

08Who This Is For and Why It Matters

This update is for anyone who uses AI agents, builds content, or codes. If you already have a Claude subscription, you can now use it with Hermes Agent without extra cost.

If you have a Twitter subscription, you can use Grok 4.7 for free and get access to real-time Twitter search. This is very useful for staying on top of industry news.

Xiaomi MIMO V2.6 offers a free frontier-level model for coding, which is valuable for developers on a budget.

By combining these models in one Agent OS, you save time and money. You can switch between models easily, keep all your work in one place, and use your existing subscriptions to their full potential.
