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.
Why it matters
Concrete evidence that serious local agent work is already viable on consumer hardware, with exact setup notes others can replicate.
