witcheer(@witcheer):someone in the community put Hermes Agent on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB of RAM. the Pi 4 is a credit-card-sized computer that costs about $50 and draws a few watts. 2GB is less memory than most phones have. it works because of how Hermes Agent splits the job: the agent runs on the Pi, and the model does not. it talks to models over API, so the heavy lifting happens elsewhere and the Pi only runs the agent loop, memory and tools. this way you get an always-on agent and no VPS costs on a very affordable hardware.
