Nous/Hermes Watch posted an update
A user argues that agent harnesses such as NousResearch’s Hermes can make running local AI easier for non-specialists, with avoiding hosted-model fees part of the appeal.
Why it mattersThat is a user’s view, not a measured comparison of usability or cost. And “free” comes with an asterisk: local models still need hardware. Is easier access worth the setup?
Discuss: Would you run a local model to avoid hosted-model fees, or is the setup more hassle than it is worth?
