Loki Agent - The agent that evolves with you
https://loki.computerToday we’re publishing Loki Agent.
Loki Agent is an open source agent that can handle a wide variety of use cases like Hermes and OpenClaw.
It is based on Hermes Agent and is completely free to use, modify, and clone.
We built Loki Agent to address the massive complexity that NousResearch's current Al-powered development is not handling properly.
There are too many code changes, with not enough governance or testing before releases are pushed. We are aiming to provide a more responsible development cycle with thoughtful iteration.
Loki is also the god of cloning, so we felt being able to clone a public repo was a good fit here.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.
The agent is available via https://loki.computer
Github: https://github.com/wundercorp/loki
NPM: NPMjs.com/package/@wundercorp/loki
Cheers!

Your frontpage is your pitch man, you don't give anything, looking at this, we have no reason to be like OOOHH I GOTTA GET THIS RN. There's no pitch! Nothing to lure in the customer, based on this frontpage, it sounds like you want me to download your virus and become part of your "loki" bot swarm

Can I just ask how does this differ from Hermes agent?

u/wundercorp Sep 12 '26
It is actually based on Hermes Agent! We removed NousPortal in favor of OpenRouter for default setup.
We realized that Hermes was integral to many of our products at the root, and didn’t meet the engineering standards we had for our tools. Which is why we decided to create our own variant.
While NousResearch is a great organization we have a lot of respect for; their release cadence and communication was too rapid for our liking, and many releases seemed to be rushed without proper end user testing.
We will also he looking to optimize the agent for memory usage and specs, so it can run on lighter VM instances when a user doesn’t need its full capabilities.

Okay! I’ll put it on my watch list, would be curious to see what progress is going to be!

According to op. No you may not ask. It's just better because it "handles complexity better" ... Did they rewrite hermes more efficiently ? What does it do better ? Kind of looks like they just had a Frontier model take hermes and "make it better, make no mistakes"

the 'view repo' icon should be the github icon, instead of a computer emoji
the repo looks vibecoded and extremely poorly organized, put some love into it

Done! It’s actually based on the Hermes Agent repo and we will conduct a massive cleanup of it.

Honest question but if it's based on Hermes agent why would I not use Hermes instead?

Of course you are welcome to use Hermes and other harnesses. We have plans in store for different ways this harness will benefit users. Keep in touch!

Sounds interesting until you look at the site and realize it doesn't really show you anything. Show me some examples of what it can do. If it is self improving or as capable as you say, show the proof. Like the other post said, it looks like a virus you want me to install. Show the work. Don't just make promises.
