- Teknium announced that the Hermes Agent project has reached 3,000 contributors, thanking the developer community.
- A newcomer who recently moved from closed-source work replied that his four focused bug-fix PRs, opened two weeks ago, remain unmerged with zero feedback — understandable given "25k open PRs," but illustrative of the maintenance strain on fast-growing open-source AI projects.
- Teknium confirmed the situation.
