Local multi-agent governance test: Hermes + Qwen 3.8 enforces strict safety
AIForOver50Plus · reddit · 2026-08-18
The author tested a second local agent, Hermes, running on Qwen 3.8 27B alongside an existing setup on a MacBook Pro M3 Max, focusing on governance and resilience. The agent successfully denied a dangerous command without retry or workaround, read runbooks before acting, and proactively identified three governance gaps in its configuration (approval mode, passive memory, background daemon). Zero ungated irreversible actions occurred during the session.
