World's first cloud sandbox Hermes Agent from MiniMax
MaxHermes is MiniMax’s managed cloud version of Hermes Agent, built with Nous Research. It brings self-improving Skills, 24/7 cloud availability, zero terminal setup, and direct access through everyday chat surfaces, turning the open Hermes idea into something much easier to actually use.
The result is MaxHermes — a managed, always-on cloud sandbox that keeps the self-improving loop of Hermes while removing all the local setup friction. Finish a task, unlock new skills, get smarter over time, and it’s instantly available in your regular chat apps.
Bigger story here is Model × Harness. MiniMax is clearly not treating the model and the runtime as separate layers anymore. M2.7 and MaxHermes are being pushed together as one co-evolving system, and that is probably where a lot of the next agent differentiation will come from.
