Hermes Agent + Grok 4.5 TESTED!

Grok 4.5 plus Hermes Agent. How good is it? So he's pretty good so far I've tested out. Now the cool thing is with Hermes is that you can actually get free access to Grok 4.5 if you're already subscribed to Twitter.

So it doesn't cost me anything extra to use Grok 4.5 inside Hermes. Now from what I've tested I'll show you we've actually tested out like 45 different builds with Grok 4.5 which I can show you in a second but from what I've seen so far Grok 4.5 is right up there it's not quite as good as Opus 4.8 but it's right up there maybe the closest probably better than GLM 5.2 for competing with Opus 4.8 from Claude. So it's a really good model however when one thing I've seen when I've tested out inside the chat when I build out a new profile with Hermes Agent and Grok 4.5 is like it is slow for tool calling like it will take about 60 seconds I actually said like what did we do yesterday and it took about 60 seconds or two minutes to reply to us inside the chat. So we can create a separate Hermes Agent profile and use it directly there I actually wouldn't recommend it I just think it's too slow to use I think I'd much prefer to use something like GLM 5.2.

Let's just test it out now we'll see okay like just a basic question like how are you today let's see how long that takes to respond with Hermes Agent you could create like something blank slate like a blank slate profile with Hermes Agent that is an option it replies in about 10 seconds when we ask it just a basic question like how are you today so it seems super slow like I just feel if you want an agentic model and you ask a basic question you don't expect to wait like 10 seconds so that's not the best way to use it I'm going to show you the best way to use it instead what I'd recommend with Grok 4.5 is that you have it inside custom workflows so for example we've built this custom tool using Grok 4.5 inside Hermes Agent that can generate images video and voice in like one single click and then we can use that to basically get the power of the agentic systems inside Hermes but it feels like a SaaS tool it doesn't cost us anything extra and then that way we can segment it away from our chat so for example we can use something that's actually really fast to respond like GLM 5.2 inside Hermes Agent and then when we're actually building out stuff with it like for example images and videos that's when we're going to use Grok because obviously GLM 5.2 cannot use or cannot create images for you like this right so for example if we say okay generate oh we'll try one of these basic ones like you know a glowing whale in a star-filled nebula ephereal right we'll hit generate here and we'll see how long that takes so let's try this out we just need to make sure we switch to Grok let's hit generate image and how long is that going to take my friends there we go pretty fast and you can see the image right here pretty cool let's open it up in a new tab have a look what it looks like yeah it's pretty good quality isn't it pretty easy to generate takes about five seconds and then we have an image studio ready to go inside AgentOS now also the cool thing about this is I can then use that in many different ways so I can for example plug that into any of the other systems down here the other cool thing that I've noticed with Grok is that you can actually create b-roll using Grok 4.5 and then you can describe the video that you want and use a combination of Grok 4.5 with the video agent that we've built here and then we can use Grok for coming up with the content doing the research via twitter and then generating the b-roll for our video and then a video agent can put it all together inside one beautiful workflow if you're wondering how does that look in reality well you can see an example here so we can generate a video on the spot with an AI avatar the voiceover the b-roll plugged in generated by Grok and also the research itself the news itself can be researched by Grok as well because we're using that real-time API from twitter pretty amazing stuff and again does it cost me anything extra no why because I'm already on the twitter plan so this is the amazing part of it and I think this is how you really get the most out of Hermes in general but also with Grok 4.5 because you can build your own custom sass style tools inside a system like this they're one click away and you've got them ready to go right so this is our AgentOS and then we can just use these systems whenever we want so let's say for example like right okay create a video about Grok 4.5 release today so we can type that in we can change the length over here so we can have this up to like 10 minutes if you want to but I'm just going to do a quick one just to show you a demo so we're going to put that 15 seconds we can change between voiceover and presenter so I'll go with presenter and then we're going to switch the b-roll engine to Grok and we're going to use this avatar so we can see then we'll say okay write the script now so you can see now it's researching and writing the script for our video about Grok 4.5 which again is a brand new update requires real-time research Claude might be able to find that but I think you're much better getting that information from something like Grok 4.5 because like sometimes Claude is way behind in its knowledge and then it has to do web search and it has to use more tools and it gets slower everything else right this system right here will just use Grok 4.5 with the video agent generate the b-roll generate the research generate the voiceover and it's all good to go from there I think that's way more powerful so we can come back to that in a second it'll just work in the background and then the other thing that I would say here is that for example if you look at Claude which is you know obviously Opus 4.8 is like the standard sort of comparison between Grok 4.5 and the best models for Hermes agent with Claude you can't use your OAuth login right so if you want to use Claude directly with something like Hermes you have to pay for the API but if you use Grok and you're already subscribed to Twitter you can use OAuth for generating images videos web research and also voice notes but you don't need to pay any extra so that's a big benefit as well so now we can see that the research is ready to go and basically what it's done here is it's looked at and researched the whole topic come up with the details here it's actually used the research is pretty useful and then also what we can do from here is just click on generate the avatar on the b-roll and that will generate the videos in the background with the b-roll create the avatar and plug it all together pretty powerful it's a system so you've got video agent that can just create and automate whenever you want now the final thing that I would show you is Hermes Oracle so what this does is it pulls in the latest news from our industry organize it in terms of what's trending right now gives us an angle we can publish an SEO blog about that particular topic in like one single click we can see all the content that we've published around that topic so for example these are all blogs that we've created directly from the Hermes Oracle system which basically researches the latest news every 24 hours we consult the Oracle we get the latest trending information back and then it organizes it by you know what's trending the most super powerful stuff we can also see previous days so we can click between previous days and get the history of everything too it's just a really really useful system that again is custom built and I think that's how to get the most out of grok 4.5 grok 4.5 out of the box with Hermes agent not very useful grok 4.5 with a video agent Hermes Oracle the studio for generating images videos and voice notes you know that's literally like way way more powerful there's 10 times more powerful and then the final thing that I would say here as well is that you can use it to automatically update your memory system so we have Obsidian as a memory knowledge graph plugged into the agent os and then inside the recent section here we get new updates based on what's just been done with for example like Hermes Apollo and everything else and then that is automatically logged into our memory system so that all of our agents have context about what we've worked on recently and so all of our agents inside the agent os can look at the memory system understand exactly what we've worked on even over the last 24 hours and then they're fully trained with context and what we're doing and I don't have to touch any of this because my agents are automatically updating the memory system for me so that's really powerful too you can also use it inside this system for generating images and yeah I think grok 4.5 is powerful if you have the right workflows which is what I've shown you today so if you want to get our full agent os with Hermes Astros Hermes Oracle using grok 4.5 we've got the studio with grok 4.5 to generate images videos and voice and then we also have the video agent that can use grok as well to create some amazing stuff and we can see everything that we've created as well previously over here and we have grok plugged in as a cli inside this section and again we can preview everything that we've created with grok 4.5 I did actually promise I'd show you what we've built with grok 4.5 so far so if we have a look at some of the outputs here like you can create some awesome stuff as you can see like pretty interesting very visual style games and that sort of thing so for example here this is a flight simulator that we created and you can see for example we actually created a fully animated video using grok 4.5 as well the interesting thing about this is we just taught grok 4.5 the skill of remotion and then it can generate a beautiful animated video as you can see looks super sleek easy to create and yeah it does create some awesome stuff let me show you another example so this is a game that we created as well pretty fun easy to build but yeah I genuinely think like grok is a very useful model so thanks very much for watching if you want to get all of this you can get it inside the airpuffer boardroom link in the comments description or go to
