I feel like Google is really the silent whale.
They will sweep up a lot in their path eventually.
Sleeping giant.
🔥Google DeepMind is about to shock the entire world.
"We are witnessing a genuine phase transition in the pace of scientific discovery. You will see a glimpse of this in our releases in the next few weeks."
Looks like Google's internal models have been cooking something big behind the scenes. Major new scientific discoveries powered by Google's own beast AI models are coming in the next few weeks.👀
Meta just open-sourced Astryx.
The design system powering 13k+ internal apps over the last 8 years.
150+ components, total CSS flexibility, zero styling lock-in (use Tailwind, CSS modules, etc.), and built so devs & AI build from the same source.

Nice! My plugin for Hermes Agent can now be found on the Hermes Plugin Marketplace.
Time-travel filesystem checkpoints, approval-gated rollback, and a scrubbable Desktop timeline for Hermes Agent
Thanks @Teknium 💚🪽 ya'll fast!

my second hermes hackathon plugin submission.
stash - hermes plugin
A capture bin for your Hermes sidebar.
You see something - a post, a repo, a video, a screenshot, a half-thought - and you want it later without it living in your chat history. Paste it into Stash and leave. Come back whenever, or ask your agent to go through it.
Links, YouTube urls, image urls, uploaded images and plain text all go in the same box. Titles and thumbnails fill in on their own, fetched server-side, so nothing costs you a model call.
pushing the PR soon and creating the video.

My Nous Research Hermes hackathon submission.
Lazy Plugin. a lazy cat powered plugin creator UI.
A hermes desktop dashboard for creating plugins to contribute to the Hermes community. describe a plugin in a sentence, or start from your own hermes skills or cronjob you already have.
I wanted to create a UI where Hermes users can convert their ideas into plugins, or turn their existing workflows into plugins for the broader Hermes agent community - who knows what your doing everyday could be a contribution to the community.
Create, audit, edit and publish straight to github for merge review - all in a click of a button.
Everything made in house with Hermes Agent. Video created by Hermes, music by my own plugin hermes-band.
Video creation and direction is not my strong skillset, so the clunky video is what you get 😄
PR currently in review!

Okay I have an idea... Let's see if this works. 💪🔨
🔥 MiniCPM Spark Program S2: Build What’s Next.

Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

I spent 8 hours drawing GTA 6 in the sky but realistically I’ve been waiting 11 years for this moment. ✈️🎮 @rockstargames @grandtheftauto6
