Hermes OpenAI-Compatible API + Reasoning Streaming Makes Other Apps Doorways

Hermes can expose any configured agent (skills, memory, tools, files) via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Apps such as Codex, Cursor, Cline, Open WebUI and AnythingLLM can now call into a running Hermes agent—including one on a remote VPS—without leaving their UI. Recent update properly streams model reasoning so the client app can show thinking in real time.
