New Hermes Subagents Update is INSANE!

Hermes Just Added Async Sub-Agents: Delegate Tasks in the Background (No More Frozen Chat)Hermes now supports asynchronous sub-agents via a new Delegate tool that can spawn multiple workers at once, running jobs in the background so chat no longer freezes. After updating Hermes (via terminal command or dashboard), you can give a lead Hermes agent a single goal and have it fan out tasks to temporary sub-agents, each with its own thread, goal, and context, dispatched in about two milliseconds using delegate task with background=true. Results return to the chat as each worker finishes, enabling parallel workflows like generating and deploying multiple SEO articles from one keyword. The script compares the old blocking, sequential approach to the new parallel “hive” model, notes you can use plain English, and mentions using different APIs per worker. It also promotes the AI Profit Boardroom’s agent operating system, training, roadmap, community, and coaching calls.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU] Async Sub Agents Launch00:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=15s] Update Hermes Fast00:41 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=41s] SEO Funnel Demo00:56 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=56s] Why Background Mode Wins01:17 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=77s] Real Deployment Example02:15 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=135s] Profiles And Temporary Agents02:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=164s] How Delegate Works03:45 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=225s] Parallel Workers Returning Results04:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=265s] Old Versus New Workflow05:04 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=304s] Keeping Control And Avoiding Chaos05:31 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=331s] Quick Recap And Next Steps06:30 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=390s] Multiply Output With Boardroom07:21 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=441s] Community And Coaching Details07:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_no0_db_lU&t=460s] Final Thanks

NEW Grok Build AI is INSANE!

Grok Build CLI Just Surprised Me: Side-by-Side Tests vs Claude, Kimi & GLM + Agent OS IntegrationThe script reviews the new Grok Build coding agent and CLI, saying it’s a major upgrade over the old version and the best results the creator has seen from the same prompt, especially for games and 3D builds. It showcases multiple outputs (a dark first-person game, clean websites, 3D/MMO/RPG-style demos, animations like glowing fish trails and lava-lamp liquid that follows the mouse) while noting quality is inconsistent and sometimes disconnected from prompts. The creator compares Grok Build against Kimi Code, GLM 5.2, and Claude Opus, claiming Grok Build’s game beat Claude’s for the same prompt and outperformed Kimi and GLM on some tests, though GLM looked better for certain animations. They highlight OAuth login and that X Premium Plus/Super Grok subscribers get access, plus parallel sub-agents, self-check loops, and integration into an agent operating system alongside other models, then promote an Agent OS package via AI Profit Bot.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8] Grok Build Surprise00:37 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=37s] Touring Early Demos01:12 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=72s] OAuth and CLI Access02:08 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=128s] Studio Media Features02:36 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=156s] Beta Announcement Context03:11 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=191s] Side by Side Comparisons04:37 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=277s] Animations Mixed Results05:50 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=350s] Parallel Sub Agents06:22 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=382s] Dragon Realm Benchmark07:02 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=422s] Self Check Improvement Loop07:58 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=478s] Using Grok in Agent OS08:48 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=528s] Agent OS Offer Breakdown09:43 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzH-meiOD8&t=583s] Community Coaching and Close

Hermes + Jarvis + Obsidian Memory is INSANE!

I Turned My Mac Into a Voice-Activated AI Butler (Hermes + Jarvis + Obsidian Memory)The script demonstrates a voice-activated AI assistant running on a Mac inside an agent operating system, using Hermes Agent with Jarvis and connected to an Obsidian vault for persistent memory. The AI provides daily and weekly briefings that summarize work themes, open action items, priorities, and recent news headlines with clickable links, and it can be triggered by tapping a panel or a wake word. It can open websites and apps, show dashboards and live numbers, run “wall mode” as a command-center display, build working apps by voice with outputs saved to a gallery, and save user commands like “Remember that” directly into Obsidian so it can recall past context across days. The episode ends by promoting the Agent Operating System setup available through AI Profit Boarding.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU] Talking Butler Demo01:33 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=93s] Voice Commands and Builds02:19 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=139s] What Hermes Jarvis Is03:52 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=232s] Six Powers Overview04:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=280s] Briefings and History05:42 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=342s] Memory and Agent Mode06:21 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=381s] How Commands Route08:22 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=502s] Recap and Setup Offer09:33 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=573s] Agent OS and AI Profit Boarding11:04 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUNzI0lN2wU&t=664s] Final Thanks and Goodbye

NEW GLM 5.2 BEATS Claude?

GLM 52 vs Qwen 37 Max vs Claude Opus 48: Real-World Tests vs Benchmarks (No Second Chances)The episode compares GLM 52 (ZAI), Qwen 37 Max (Alibaba), and Claude Opus 48 (Anthropic) head-to-head on five one-shot tasks, arguing that benchmark rankings didn’t match real usability. In coding-focused tests like a voxel runner game, a liquid-in-a-bowl animation, a business landing page, and an arcade game, GLM 52 produced the most fun, polished, and feature-rich results, while Claude’s outputs were often basic and Qwen’s were sometimes buggy or incomplete; Claude clearly won the solar-system orbit map task. The script also notes Qwen’s strong reported benchmarks and faster replies, GLM’s slower responses in agents but strong CLI coding, and highlights limitations integrating Claude into agent workflows compared to Qwen/GLM in Hermes and the creator’s agent operating system.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwz8O3F-U] Head To Head Setup01:27 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwz8O3F-U&t=87s] Coding Tests Results04:09 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwz8O3F-U&t=249s] Arcade Game Showdown04:50 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwz8O3F-U&t=290s] Benchmarks Versus Reality06:01 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwz8O3F-U&t=361s] Agents Workflow Tradeoffs07:59 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnFwz8O3F-U&t=479s] Final Recommendations
