Works with Hermes Agent out of the box. No fork required — just 3 config files on top of upstream Honcho. Background: Hermes L4 Memory Hermes Agent has a 4-layer memory system. The cross-session memory layer is powered by Honcho, which builds a deepening model of the user across conversations — extracting observations, recalling context, and consolidating memories over time. By default, Hermes uses Plastic Labs' managed cloud (honcho.dev) + their Neuromancer models. This works out of the box but means your conversation data and user profile live on their servers. What are Neuromancer models? Neuromancer XR is a specialized 8B model fine-tuned from Qwen3-8B specifically for extracting logical conclusions from conversations. Unlike general-purpose LLMs which are optimized for plausible text generation, Neuromancer is trained on 10,000 curated social reasoning traces to follow formal logic — extracting both explicit facts (\"user said they like Python\") and deductive conclusions (\"user is likely a developer\"). It scores 86.9% on the LoCoMo memory benchmark vs. 69.6% for base Qwen3-8B and 80.0% for Claude 4 Sonnet. Tradeoff of not using it: General-purpose models work well for observation extraction and memory recall — Honcho's prompts and tool-calling pipeline compensate for much of the gap. You may get slightly less precise deductive reasoning, but c","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/elkimek","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/elkimek/honcho-self-hosted/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
