Creating an Hermes Agent AI profile for researcher

This article provides a detailed technical guide for setting up an Hermes agent AI profile optimized for research tasks using the Gemma 4 model on an M5 Max system with 128GB RAM. It covers configuring Ollama parameters (context window, temperature, top_p) and creating a custom research model profile. It also explains how to configure Hermes agent behavior via CLI and config files, including setting max iterations, context compression, tool progress display, and system persona to enforce a 'no hallucination' rule. Additionally, it introduces the AGENTS.md power user move for project-specific research protocols. The article is relevant to IT/technology as it focuses on AI agent configuration, software development, and technical best practices.
