Build a near-free agentic software factory: open-source Hermes plus Meta Muse Spark 1.3
intellectronica · x · 2026-09-04
Hugo Bowne-Anderson and Eleanor Berger are teaching a Maven course, "Build Your Agentic Software Factory," a two-week program on running agents that build software in the background: specify outcomes, supply context and constraints, and define verification. Early bird is $750 (rising to $850/$950), next cohort starts October 2026. The poster adds you can skip a $350/month subscription by wiring Hermes, an open-source agent server, to Meta Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor — a powerful model you "pay for with your data" — for a nearly free agentic factory.
