GitHub Octoverse 2026 Ranks NousResearch's Hermes Agent #1 in Open-Source Engagement
Teknium · x · 2026-11-04
- GitHub's annual Octoverse 2026 report (window Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026) ranks NousResearch's Hermes Agent #1 among single-vendor open-source projects by engagement.
- The score blends stars, forks, and distinct people opening PRs/issues — stars are only a third, so the ranking reflects real usage, not bookmarking.
- opencode and Earendil's pi appear on the same list; OpenClaw tops the community side. Teknium thanked the developer community.
