feat(hermes model): add Configure auxiliary models UI by teknium1 · Pull Request #11891 · NousResearch/hermes-agent

teknium1 · 2026-04-18T01:55:34Z

Summary

Users can now configure per-task auxiliary models (vision, compression, web extract, etc.) from hermes model instead of hand-editing config.yaml.

UI flow

hermes model now has two new bottom entries:

...
Custom endpoint (enter URL manually)
Configure auxiliary models...
Leave unchanged         ← renamed from 'Cancel'

Clicking "Configure auxiliary models..." → task picker with current settings inline:

Auxiliary models — side-task routing

Hermes uses small, fast models for vision, compression, web
extraction, and other side tasks. "auto" lets Hermes pick the
best available backend automatically (OpenRouter → Nous Portal
→ your main provider). You rarely need to change these —
override only if you want a specific model for a task.

Vision            (image/screenshot analysis)  auto
Compression       (context summarization)      auto
Web extract       (web page summarization)     auto
Session search    (past-conversation recall)   auto
Approval          (smart command approval)     auto
MCP               (MCP tool reasoning)         auto
Flush memories    (memory consolidation)       auto
Title generation  (session titles)             auto
Skills hub        (skills search/install)      auto
Reset all to auto
Back

Clicking a task → provider picker scoped to already-authenticated providers (reuses list_authenticated_providers()) → model picker with live pricing. Saves to auxiliary.<task>.provider / model / base_url / api_key; the main model config is never touched.

Changes

hermes_cli/main.py — new _aux_config_menu, _aux_select_for_task, _aux_flow_provider_model, _aux_flow_custom_endpoint, _save_aux_choice, _reset_aux_to_auto, _format_aux_current; dispatch wired into select_provider_and_model
hermes_cli/config.py — add title_generation task to DEFAULT_CONFIG.auxiliary (was called from agent/title_generator.py but missing from defaults, so config-backed timeout overrides never worked for that task)
tests/hermes_cli/test_aux_config.py — 20 new tests covering save/reset/format + menu dispatch

Design notes

The aux picker does NOT re-run credential/OAuth setup. Users authenticate providers through the normal hermes model flow, then route aux tasks to them here. Avoids duplicating the 13-function _model_flow_* dispatch tree.
_reset_aux_to_auto only clears routing fields (provider/model/base_url/api_key); user-tuned timeout / download_timeout values are preserved.
"Cancel" sentinel string preserved internally — only the display label changed to "Leave unchanged", so existing dispatch (ordered[provider_idx][0] == "cancel") still works.

Validation

	Result
`tests/hermes_cli/test_aux_config.py` (new)	20 / 20 pass
`tests/hermes_cli/` (regression)	2224 / 2224 pass
`tests/agent/` auxiliary client + title gen + compression	72 / 72 pass
Live PTY smoke — menus render, dispatch works	OK
Main model config unchanged after aux save (E2E)	OK
Timeouts preserved across save + reset (E2E)	OK

Follow-up

A separate PR will change auto resolution to prefer the main model for every aux task (instead of falling through to cheap aggregator defaults), and update the aux menu copy accordingly.

Previously users had to hand-edit config.yaml to route individual auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, web_extract, etc.) to a specific provider+model. Add a first-class picker reachable from the bottom of the existing `hermes model` provider list. Flow: hermes model → Configure auxiliary models... → <task picker: 9 tasks, shows current setting inline> → <provider picker: authenticated providers + auto + custom> → <model picker: curated list + live pricing> The aux picker does NOT re-run credential/OAuth setup; users authenticate providers through the normal `hermes model` flow, then route aux tasks to them here. `list_authenticated_providers()` gates the list to providers the user has configured. Also: - 'Cancel' entry relabeled 'Leave unchanged' (sentinel still 'cancel' internally, so dispatch logic is unchanged) - 'Reset all to auto' entry to bulk-clear aux overrides; preserves user-tuned timeout / download_timeout values - Adds `title_generation` task to DEFAULT_CONFIG.auxiliary — the task was called from agent/title_generator.py but was missing from defaults, so config-backed timeout overrides never worked for it
