Announced August 7: Hermes can use AI Gateway as its inference layer for 200+ models with no token markup and per-request dashboard visibility, and execute shell commands inside an isolated Vercel Sandbox microVM instead of on your machine, with Node.js 24/22 and Python 3.13 and a workspace at /vercel/sandbox. Sandbox is opt-in via terminal.backend. Cleanest local-to-cloud escape hatch shipped in a third-party agent so far, and given three lab sandbox escapes in three weeks, opt-in microVM isolation for a coding agent is worth the config line.
