Hermes Agent v0.13 'Tenacity' Ships Multi-Agent Kanban, Takes #1 on OpenRouter at 224B Daily Tokens

Nous Research·high signal

Nous Research's Hermes Agent v0.13.0 (released May 7) introduces Kanban as a durable multi-agent task board with heartbeat monitoring, zombie detection, and hallucination recovery. New /goal command locks the agent on a persistent target across turns. Checkpoints v2 adds real state pruning with gateway auto-resume. Security wave closes 8 P0s including default-on redaction and guild-scoped Discord allowlists. Hermes now processes 224B daily tokens on OpenRouter vs. OpenClaw's 186B, taking the #1 position.
