`Hermes Agent` `v0.14.0`: native Windows, PyPI install, local proxy
Installation friction drops hard: Windows beta, PyPI wheel, and lazy deps land together. The local proxy and speedups make it worth testing as an agent CLI.
- Native Windows support now covers
cmd.exeand PowerShell without WSL, including installer, PTY,taskkill, MinGit, and Python stub handling. pip install hermes-agent && hermesis now the default path. The wheel bundles the Ink TUI and shell launcher, so setup no longer needs a repo clone.- Cold start drops by about 19s,
hermes tools All-Platformsfalls from 14s to under 1.5s, and browser console calls get 180x faster. - The OpenAI-compatible local proxy lets
Codex,Aider, andClinetalk to OAuth-only providers likeClaude Pro,ChatGPT Pro, andSuperGrok. - Install and upgrade flows now scan dependency advisories, while lazy deps reduce what the base package pulls in.
