Hermes just made its own codebase dramatically cheaper for agents to understand The cleanup is not just for humans It directly reduces how much context agents burn while reading the repo. Some of the numbers are wild: • Median defining file size down 66% • Average lookup tokens down 55% • Multi-window reads down 71% • Tasks hitting files too large for a 128k context: 1,589 → 0 • Total tokens if every task read the whole file: 985M → 361M That is roughly 63% less context for the same work Cleaner code for humans Cheaper, faster reasoning for agents With 3,000+ contributors working on Hermes, this kind of cleanup matters a lot. Teknium keeps optimizing the agent and the codebase the agent has to understand 👏
