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.

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.
