User ditches Grok Heavy subscription after minutes with Hermes Agent mobile voice mode
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-11-04
A user says he cancelled his Grok Heavy subscription within minutes of trying Nous Research's Hermes Agent mobile app and its voice mode. While he finds Grok Bot, Dots, and Muse fine for many people, he values the granular control Hermes-Agent offers over his AI stack — LLMs, agents, subagents, memory, session state, and continuity. He plans to run Hermes-Agent locally with a Nous Portal subscription and keep Grok Bot only for X. A sign that self-composable local agent stacks are pulling subscribers away from big-vendor bundles.
