Hermes Agent + Grok 4.5 TESTED!

Grok 4.5 TESTED, AIRMES AGENT How good is it? So, he's pretty good so far. I've tested out. Now, the cool thing is with Hermes is that you can actually get free access to Grok 4.5 if you're already subscribed to Twitter. So, it doesn't cost me anything extra to use Grok 4.5 inside Hermes. Now, from what I've tested, I'll show you. We've actually tested out like 45 different builds with Grok 4.5, which I can show you in a second. But from what I've seen so far, Grok 4.5 is right up there. It's not quite as good as Opus 4.8, but it's right up there. Maybe the closest. Probably better than GLM 5.2 for competing with Opus 4.8 from Claude. So, it's a really good model. However, one thing I've seen when I've tested out inside the chat when I build out a new profile with Hermes Agent and Grok 4.5 is like it is slow for tool calling. Like, it will take about 60 seconds. I actually said like, what did we do yesterday? And it took about 60 seconds or two minutes to reply to us inside the chat. So, we can create a separate Hermes Agent profile and use it directly there. I actually wouldn't recommend it. I just think it's too slow to use. I think I'd much prefer to use something like GLM 5.2. Let's just test it out now. We'll see like a like just a basic question like how are you today? Let's see how long that takes to respond with Hermes Agent. You could create like something blank slate, like a blank slate profile with Hermes Agent. That is an option. It replies in about 10 seconds when we ask it just a basic question like how are you today? So, it seems super slow. Like, I just feel if you want an agentic model and you ask a basic question, you don't expect to wait like 10 seconds. So, that's not the best way to use it. I'm going to show you the best way to use it instead. What I'd recommend with Grok 4.5 is that you have it inside custom workflows. So, for example, we've built this custom tool using Grok 4.5 inside Hermes Agent that can generate images, video and voice in like one single click. And then we can use that to basically get the power of the agentic systems inside Hermes. But it feels like a SaaS tool and it doesn't cost us anything extra. And then that way we can segment it away from our chat. So, for example, we can use something that's actually really fast to respond like GLM 5.2 inside Hermes Agent. And then when we're actually building out stuff with it, like, for example, images and videos, that's when we're going to use Grok because obviously GLM 5.2 cannot use or cannot create images for you like this, right? So, for example, if we say, okay, generate, oh, we'll try one of these basic ones like, you know, a glowing whale in a star-filled nebula, Ethereal, right? We'll hit generate here. We'll see how long that takes. So let's try this out. We just need to make sure we switch to Grok. Let's hit generate image. And how long is that going to take, my friends? There we go. Pretty fast. And you can see the image right here. Pretty cool. Let's open it up in a new tab. Have a look what it looks like. Yeah, it's pretty good quality, isn't it? Pretty easy to generate. Takes about five seconds. And then we have an image studio ready to go inside the Agent OS. Now, also, the cool thing about this is I can then use that in many different ways. So I can, for example, plug that into any of the other systems down here. The other cool thing that I've noticed with Grok is that you can actually create B-roll using Grok 4.5. And then you can describe the video that you want and use a combination of Grok 4.5 with the video agent that we've built here. And then we can use Grok for coming up with the content, doing the research via Twitter, and then generating the B-roll for our video. And then a video agent can put it all together inside one beautiful workflow. If you're wondering how does that look in reality, well, you can see an example here. So we can generate a video on the spot with an AI avatar, the voiceover, the B-roll plugged in generated by Grok. And also the research itself, the news itself can be researched by Grok as well because we're using that real-time API from Twitter. Pretty amazing stuff. And again, does it cost me anything extra? No. Why? Because I'm already on the Twitter plan. So this is the amazing part of it. And I think this is how you really get the most out of Hermes in general, but also with Grok 4.5. Because you can build your own custom SaaS-style tools inside a system like this. They're one click away, and you've got them ready to go. So this is our agent OS, and then we can just use these systems whenever we want. So let's say, for example, like, right, okay, create a video about Grok 4.5 released today. So we can type that in. We can change the length over here, so we can have this up to like 10 minutes if we want to. But I'm just going to do a quick one just to show you the demo. So we're going to put that 15 seconds. We can change between voiceover and presenter. So I'll go with presenter. And then we're going to switch the B-roll engine to Grok. And we're going to use this avatar so we can see. Then we're going to say, okay, write the script now. So you can see now it's researching and writing the script for our video about Grok 4.5, which again is a brand new update. Requires real-time research. Claude might be able to find that. But I think you're much better getting that information from something like Grok 4.5. Because sometimes Claude is way behind in its knowledge. And then it has to do web search. And it has to use more tools. And it gets slower and everything else. This system right here will just use Grok 4.5 with the video agent. Generate the B-roll. Generate the research. Generate the voiceover. And it's all good to go from there. And I think that's way more powerful. So we can come back to that in a second. It'll just work in the background. And then the other thing that I would say here is that, for example, if you look at Claude, which is, you know, obviously Opus 4.8 is like the standard sort of comparison between Grok 4.5 and the best models for Hermes agent. With Claude, you can't use your OAuth login, right? So if you want to use Claude directly with something like Hermes, you have to pay for the API. But if you use Grok and you're already subscribed to Twitter, you can use OAuth for generating images, videos, web research, and also voice notes. But you don't need to pay any extra. So that's a big benefit as well. So now we can see that the research is ready to go. And basically what it's done here is it's looked at and researched the whole topic. Come up with the details here. It's actually used the research, which is pretty useful. And then also what we can do from here is just click on generate the avatar and the B-roll. And that will generate the videos in the background with the B-roll, create the avatar, and plug it all together. Pretty powerful as a system. So you've got a video agent that can just create and automate whenever you want. Now, the final thing that I would show you is Hermes Oracle. So what this does is it pulls in the latest news from our industry, organizes it in terms of what's trending right now, gives us an angle. We can publish an SEO blog about that particular topic in like one single click. We can see all the content that we've published around that topic. So for example, these are all blogs that we've created directly from the Hermes Oracle system, which basically researches the latest news every 24 hours. We consult the Oracle. We get the latest trending information back. And then it organizes it by, you know, what's trending the most. Super powerful stuff. We can also see previous days. So we can click between previous days and get the history of everything too. It's just a really, really useful system that, again, is custom built. And I think that's how to get the most out of Grok 4.5. Grok 4.5 out of the box with Hermes Agent, not very useful. Grok 4.5 with a video agent, Hermes Oracle, the studio for generating images, videos, and voice notes. You know, that's literally like way, way more powerful. That's 10 times more powerful. And then the final thing that I would say here as well is that you can use it to automatically update your memory system. So we have Obsidian as a memory knowledge graph plugged into the Agent OS. And then inside the recent section here, we get new updates based on what's just been done with, for example, like Hermes Apollo and everything else. And then that is automatically logged into our memory system so that all of our agents have context about what we've worked on recently. And so all of our agents inside the Agent OS can look at the memory system, understand exactly what we've worked on, even over the last 24 hours, and then they're fully trained with context on what we're doing. And I don't have to touch any of this because my agents were automatically updating the memory system for me. So that's really powerful too. You can also use it inside this system for generating images. And yeah, I think Grok 4.5 is powerful if you have the right workflows, which is what I've shown you today. So if you want to get our full Agent OS with Hermes Astros, Hermes Oracle using Grok 4.5, we've got the studio with Grok 4.5 to generate images, videos, and voice. And then we also have the video agent that can use Grok as well to create some amazing stuff. And we can see everything that we've created as well previously over here. And we have Grok plugged in as a CLI inside this section. And again, we can preview everything that we've created with Grok 4.5. I did actually promise that I'd show you what we've built with Grok 4.5 so far. So if we have a look at some of the outputs here, like it can create some awesome stuff as you can see. Like pretty interesting, very visual style games and that sort of thing. So for example here, this is a flight simulator that we created. And you can see for example, we actually created a fully animated video using Grok 4.5 as well. The interesting thing about this is we just taught Grok 4.5 the skill of remotion. And then it can generate a beautiful animated video as you can see. It looks super sleek, easy to create. And yeah, it does create some awesome stuff. Let me show you another example. So this is a game that we created as well. Pretty fun, easy to build. But yeah, I genuinely think Grok is a very useful model. So thanks so much for watching.
