Jensen Huang Uses Hermes Agent on RTX Spark as GTC Berlin Keynote Finale

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote by installing and customizing Hermes Agent in one prompt, then using it (running on RTX Spark) to design a simulated training environment for Hugging Face’s Microduck robot. Hermes planned an obstacle course, orchestrated multiple models and tools (FreeCAD, Omniverse, Blender, Newton, Isaac Lab), trained thousands of simulated ducks, and prepared a policy for the physical robot.

Mapping the Open Agent Landscape (Including Hermes & OpenClaw)

A practical map of nine open-source agent systems organized by style: bot rosters (rakazo, OpenMausBot, OpenBot), agent teams (eigent, paperclip), single agents (openhuman, hermes-agent), and chat-native (nanoclaw, openclaw). Includes star counts and one-line positioning. Advice: pick the one that matches how you already work, run it on a real task for a week, keep only if it saves more time than it costs to host.

Hermes Agent lands on ASUS ProArt RTX Spark with MuseTree and ComfyUI

Nous Research announced Hermes Agent on the new ASUS ProArt RTX Spark PCs (P16 and P14). The stack pairs Hermes with a dedicated MuseTree skill (FLUX image, Wan video) and ComfyUI control, plus local models on up to 128 GB unified memory. ASUS press (Oct 7–8) says pre-orders are open, first US units Oct 16, NVIDIA RTX Spark up to ~1 PFLOP FP4, and quotes Dillon Rolnick on keeping workflows on-device. Teknium clarified related creative tooling is a catalog plugin, not something that ships inside Hermes itself.
