Hermes Agent plugin

The Liquid Inference plugin adds the exchange to Hermes Agent as a model provider. The source is architect-xyz/hermes-liquid-inference. The plugin is also in the Hermes Agent plugin catalog.

To set each value yourself, with no plugin, see Hermes Agent.

Before you start

1. Install the plugin

hermes plugins install architect-xyz/hermes-liquid-inference --enable

The command asks for LIQUID_API_KEY and saves it in ~/.hermes/.env.

2. Choose the provider and the model

hermes config set model.provider liquid
hermes config set model.default liquid.auto

3. Set the cap

Each request has a cap of 1 USD. To change the cap, set the header:

hermes config set model.default_headers.x-liquid-cap-usd 0.25

The cap limits each request. To limit the total spend, set a spending limit on the key. See API keys.

Reasoning effort

Task requests use medium when you set no reasoning effort. To choose another level:

hermes config set agent.reasoning_effort high

If you choose none or turn reasoning off, the plugin sends no reasoning effort. Auxiliary requests do not use the task default.

If no offer accepts the effort, the exchange refuses the request with 400 unsupported_parameter and makes no charge. Hermes then sends the request again without the effort.
