NousResearch’s Teknium says traces collected with NVIDIA’s NeMo Relay gave the Hermes Agent team more material to optimise its agent harness. NVIDIA’s walkthrough used two example scenarios to follow the agent’s calls and retries.

Why it matters

The useful point is that tracing can show the work behind an answer, not just whether the answer was right. That gives developers something more concrete to tune than a success tick and a hopeful shrug.

Discuss: How much should agent teams prioritise tracing every step, even when collecting and filtering all that data adds its own work?
