Hermes Agent: Free Fast Web Search via Perplexity

Nous Research announced that web search in Hermes Agent is now fast and free. Perplexity built Fast Search specifically for agents (p50 latency 160 ms, p95 230 ms). It is the default for all Nous Portal subscribers across tiers—no separate API key or extra bill required.

Why it matters

Removes one of the most common setup frictions for reliable agentic workflows. Builders can now give Hermes live web context without managing another provider or cost line. Directly improves real-time research, verification, and B2B automation reliability.
