Choosing a Hermes Agent setup for reliable live web search

is running with on a VPS. The goal is to search the live web instead of depending on what a model already learned during training, with examples like finding the history of a city. The main choices are which model can reason well and use tools, whether Hermes should connect to a such as Exa, , Tavily, or Parallel, and whether ’s :online variant or a server-tool web-search setup would work better.

The desired output is fresh, real-world information from the web, not a general handbook-style answer. Concrete recommendations matter most, especially a and a Hermes config snippet that can be used directly.
