Multiplex vs Separate Gateways for Multi-Profile Hermes

Detailed trade-off analysis of running one multiplexed gateway (gateway.multiplex_profiles true) versus a separate gateway per agent profile. Covers failure domains, cron duplication, blast radius of runaway loops, log isolation, and the real meaning of isolation (process count is not a security boundary). Recommendation: multiplex unless a profile has its own channel, needs pinned runtime, separate user/limits, or must survive others’ restarts.

Why it matters

Directly useful for anyone running more than one Hermes bot. Cuts through the common “just multiplex for RAM” advice and surfaces the actual operational costs.

Hermes Agent Local Model Benchmark: ~93 tok/s on RTX 5090

Real one-hour Hermes Agent goal run on Qwen3.8-27B (6-bit, MTP draft, q8_0 cache, 128k context) averaging 93 tok/s generated (297k tokens). Prompt processing ~2.1–2.2k tok/s. Fits comfortably on 32 GB; 192k also possible. Output was a full voxel diorama of Mont-Saint-Michel in one HTML file.
