I am!
Hidden Hermes gem: /moa
Most of the time you ask your agent a hard question and get one answer.
What if that answer is wrong… and you have no way to know?
Hermes has a feature called /moa (Mixture of Agents)
With /moa , Hermes sends the same prompt to 2+ different models in parallel.
Each one thinks independently.
Then a third model (the aggregator) reads all their answers and synthesizes the best one.
The best part?
It still works inside the normal Hermes agent loop.
Tools
Sessions
Follow-ups
Interrupts
/goal
And when that one task is finished, Hermes switches back to the model you were already using.
Real example:
I hit a nasty TypeScript error.
One model said recursive loop.
Another said constraint issue.
The aggregator compared both perspectives, found the actual root cause, and gave me three working fixes.
Set it up with:
hermes moa configure
Pick your reference models and aggregator.
Then use:
/moa your difficult question
Or select your MoA preset like a normal model in Desktop, CLI, TUI, or the Dashboard.
Yes, it uses more model calls.
Yes, it can take longer.
But for architecture, debugging, research, or any decision where being wrong is expensive…
I would rather have a panel than trust model luck.
The HermesBench result is wild too:
MoA: 0.8202
Opus 4.8 alone: 0.7607
GPT-5.5 alone: 0.7412
Not one model to rule them all.
A team of models working together.
