- The thread's third pick is Hermes, pitched as the most customizable option.
- Strengths: fully open-source; swap any model or subscription, modify agents freely, minimal restrictions — you can rebuild it your way.
- Weaknesses: no mobile app; stability can degrade after heavy modifications.
- Best for: tinkerer developers, local-model users, and home AI lab owners.
