en.Wedoany.com Reported - US AI research organization Nous Research has officially released Hermes Agent v0.13.0, codenamed "The Tenacity Release." This version introduces a persistent multi-agent collaboration kanban board, session checkpoint resume functionality, and expands communication platform integrations to a total of 20. According to the project's GitHub Release page and official documentation site, this update focuses on task execution resilience, introducing multiple task continuity safeguards such as heartbeat detection, zombie task cleanup, retry mechanisms, and goal deadlock instructions.
Version v0.13.0 introduces a multi-agent kanban collaboration mechanism. Users can drag and drop tasks onto the persistent task board, where multiple Hermes worker nodes automatically accept, hand off, and complete tasks, with a built-in anti-hallucination interception module. This version also adds a goal deadlock instruction (/goal) based on the Ralph cycle mechanism, ensuring that agents lock onto core objectives during lengthy multi-turn conversations without being diluted by context. State management has been completely rewritten, with Checkpoints v2 implementing true contextual state pruning to prevent memory bloat; the system can automatically recover interrupted conversations after a gateway crash or after using the /update hot update.
The number of communication platform integrations reaches 20 in this version, with the new addition of Google Chat, forming full-channel coverage alongside previously supported platforms such as Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and native WeChat. Multilingual support has been implemented simultaneously, with the gateway and CLI adding interfaces in 7 languages including Chinese, Japanese, and German, and the official documentation site launching a Simplified Chinese version. At the architectural level, a plugin-based transformation has been implemented, with model providers and communication platforms changed to a pluggable architecture, allowing third-party adapters to be directly integrated without modifying core code.
This version adds a native video analysis tool, video_analyze, which can parse video content in combination with multimodal models like Gemini; the text-to-speech segment integrates xAI Custom Voices as a TTS provider, officially supporting voice cloning functionality. On the security front, 8 P0-level critical vulnerabilities have been fixed, data masking is enabled by default, WhatsApp defaults to rejecting messages from strangers, and Discord role whitelisting is strictly limited to the guild level.
The scope of newly supported models covers the latest large models such as deepseek-v4-pro, grok-4.3, and Tencent hy3-preview. The Cron kanban watchdog mode adds a new no_agent mode with no agent dependencies, allowing scheduled tasks to be managed by the watchdog process in a non-interactive state. The persistent memory system continues to center on the SQLite FTS5 full-text search engine combined with large language model summarization technology, automatically evaluating and storing key conversational information.
Hermes Agent was open-sourced by Nous Research in February 2026 under the MIT license, with its core written in Python. As of this version, GitHub stars have surpassed 135,000. The project builds a closed-loop learning mechanism through three major subsystems: Memory, Skill, and Nudge Engine. Upon completing complex tasks, it automatically generates standardized skill files in Markdown format, enabling the continuous transformation of experience into reusable capabilities.
