Hermes Agent 0.18 makes judging and checking work easier

Hermes Agent 0.18.0 was released with no open P0 or P1 items left in the repository. Over 12 days, the team closed about 692 top-priority items: 496 issues and 196 pull requests. The work covered about 1,720 commits from more than 370 contributors.

The team also committed to keeping P0 and P1 at zero from now on. The main user-facing change is that Mixture-of-Agents is now treated like a normal model choice instead of a hidden setting. Named MoA presets now appear beside Claude, GPT, and Grok in the command line, terminal interface, desktop app, and gateway.

Each reference model can show its reasoning in its own labeled block before the final model combines the results, which makes the answer easier to inspect. Related practical setups show Hermes being used with Kanban boards for several agents at once, and with GLM-5.2 through Z.AI, OpenRouter, or the GLM Coding Plan.
