Today, I'm going to show you how to use the new model KimiK 2.6 for free directly with Hermes Agent. And this is a one-click simple setup that will save you a lot of time. You can easily start using it today. So I'm going to show you exactly how this works.
Basically, you can go over to Olama. If you've never installed it, then you just install it using this terminal command, right? So for example, if we copy this command, like this, copy this, then we'll go over to our terminal, open up a new chat. This is going to set up Olama inside our terminal, right?
Even if you've already got Olama already set up, I would recommend updating just to get the latest models. And then once you've done that, you can go over to KimiK 2.6, right? If you just want to use this for free, you can just run it like so, right? Just make sure you stick within the token limits for cloud-based models, right?
So this is KimiK 2.6 Cloud, and this is a cloud-based model, which means that you can use it for free as long as you stick within the token limits, right? Now, from here, you can now start using this with OpenClaw, with Cloud Code, and also Hermes, right? So the way that you would do that is, let's say, for example, you want to use this with Hermes. Well, what you would do is you're going to use this, Olama launch Hermes, right?
So you paste that in, and then you can select between your models, as you can see, and then you would select KimiK 2.6 Cloud, right? It will give you a list of recommended models, and KimiK 2.5 Cloud is at the top of there. You've got Quen, you've got GLM 5.1, et cetera. But the one that you want to use with Hermes, because it's designed for agented tasks, they even mention it on their website, is KimiK 2.6 Cloud, right?
Now, if we click on Proceed with this, boom. We now have Olama, KimiK 2.6, and Hermes all working together in one single click, using the latest version of Hermes Agent, and this is all running for free, as long as we stick within the token limits. If you, you know, if you find yourself, like, needing to use a lot of tokens, you can always switch to a local model, for example, like Gemma 4, that's a local model. Or you could just use Gemma 4 on Olama, or sub-agents, and you have KimiK 2.6 Cloud as the main brain of the operation, right?
And that way you don't use too many credits as well. So that's basically how it's set up, how to use it, how to quickly get access to it. And then if we say, okay, are you working? We'll just check that's working here.
And that's basically how you can use it inside here. Now, if you want to run this with OpenClaw or anything else, you can just use these commands, right? So if we go to a new chat here, and we say, Olama launch OpenClaw, KimiK 2.6 Cloud, we'll start the gateway, and now, boom. We have this running, right?
And we just need to take that URL, let's open that up, and now we can use KimiK 2.6 inside OpenClaw. And if we want to use it inside Cloud Code as well, we can with this command. So you can see now we have Cloud Code running with KimiK 2.6 as well. And these are all like one-click setups.
Even like Codex or OpenCode, you can now run with KimiK 2.6, right? So it's an open-source model from China that allows you to run agents for free using Olama in one single click. Really powerful. It's also designed for long-horizon coding tasks.
So this is great with KimiK 2.6 and Cloud Code, because basically, it's more autonomous, right? It's designed for just working and doing its own thing, which is pretty cool. You see how it performs on the benchmarks here. So this is actually a comparison versus Opus 4.6, not 4.7.
But you can see that, for example, on Humanities last exam with tools, KimiK won out of everyone, right? So it's a really powerful tool, and you can easily start using it. I honestly have tested it versus using something like Cloud Code. I've tested them side-by-side.
I would genuinely say like Cloud is still better. But if you like a free alternative that you can start using straight away, then this is a good option. So that is how to run KimiK 2.6 with Cloud Code, OpenCore, and Hermes AI Agent. Now, if you want to get more training on this sort of stuff, feel free to check out the AI Profit Boardroom.
Link in the comments description or just go to the AIProfitBoardroom.com. Inside the community, you can ask questions, get help and support whenever you need to. You can also see inside the classroom here, we have loads of training on like using Olama with other tools. So, for example, we explain in a deeper tutorial how to use Hermes Agent with Olama, one-click setup right here.
Also, you might be wondering as well, like, why would you use this? You know, why would you use Hermes Agent with KimiK 2.6? Well, there's a few options. Number one, there's free models available.
Number two is really easy to do. And number three is very non-technical, right? Most people are not technical enough to set up an AI agent. But with this setup, you don't need to be technical, right?
Olama has just handled everything for you. So that's one of the biggest benefits as well. Now, you might be wondering, okay, what is Hermes? Well, Hermes is basically an AI agent that just lives inside your terminal.
Or you can connect it directly to other tools. Pretty easy to set up. And it's kind of like OpenCore. You know, it's like an OpenCore alternative.
So it can, for example, like research web. It can create content for you. It can do coding and technical work. It can automate stuff for you.
It can do scheduled tasks. And it's also a lot smoother than using something like OpenCore in my experience, right? And you can set up scheduled tasks, aka cron jobs, with this. So it just runs autonomously in the background 24-7.
They've got a full guide on that and a two-hour course on how to use Hermes plus another six-hour course on OpenCore inside the AI Profitable Room. Link in the comments description or go to theaiprofitableroom.com. Inside the community, you can ask questions whenever you need to. You can jump on weekly coaching calls and get help and support in real time, share your screen, ask questions about your setup.
You can meet people in your local area who are using AI agents like Hermes and OpenCore in your city. And then also inside the classroom, you can get access to all of my new best trainings, as you can see right here. So you can get access to all the new stuff. And we drop new tutorials in this section right here.
Thanks for watching.
