Hermes Agent v0.15.2 got a native Electron desktop app—Windows, macOS, Linux. After a month in the terminal, I finally have a GUI with 13 settings panels. Biggest win: model routing. I moved 12 auxiliary tasks off the 1T-param main model onto 8B local models. Search, compression, approval, session titles—all routed to rnj-1:8b or gemma3:12b. Token burn dropped hard. 🖥️

Honest caveats: config submodules don't always sync. File checkpoints default to OFF. No built-in STT. GPU needs manual PATH/CUDA_PATH. Full walkthrough with screenshots:
