Magnus HedemarkI've got a sort-of agent running in #ClaudeCode that I really love but I want to depend less on the #Anthropic ecosystem. I don't mind running foundation models, but I want to be able to change up what models I am using.
#OpenClaw is certainly an option. But a bit "Wild West" right now.
#HermesAgent has been interesting. I think my first stab at it could have gone better. But then I leaped in without really reading any of the docs. I'm thinking I might spin up another one just for the purpose of going through the docs and taking the time to learn it, concept by concept, before more thoughtfully designing the real agent I want.
The Claude Code agent that I'm using has a few things going for it that I'd like to port over (or improve upon):
- Molecular note keeping partner using #ObsidianMD. I've been at this awhile so my use is pretty sophisticated and I've had a hard time getting smaller local models to play along well.
- Agent memory based on #LadybugDB, tracking promises, semantic spacetime vertices & edges... This has been pretty cool and I think I want to recreate it (better) on #ArcadeDB.
- Also using #LightRAG as my hybrid RAG platform. I'd want to migrate this to #ArcadeDB, as well.
- I think I'm going to create more sophisticated MCP tools that are more thoughtfully designed for context management and containment of tool proliferation.
- I'd love to get to a place where I could use a Hermes Agent harness for most of my work, local models for a lot of smaller work (I've only got a 16GB VRAM GPU) and foundation models (or #OpenRouter) for the heavy lifting.
