Nous Research Adds One-Click Local Model Setup to Hermes Desktop

Nous Research has released Hermes Desktop, an application that automates the installation and configuration of local AI models. The software detects a user's hardware to select, download, and set up a compatible model version with predefined performance standards. This tool removes the technical barriers typically involved in managing local model environments by handling the underlying llama.cpp configuration automatically.
