Teknium of Nous Research escalated the Hermes bug dispute, correcting that the repo has 17,500 open issues rather than 333, saying he's genuinely trying to help but 'can't help a user who is this sensitive.' The user fired back that specific issues like the provider-based fallback logic were dodged, declaring he would not use or recommend Hermes and accusing the lead developer of ego issues.
