Hermes Agent has released v0.11.0: Transport Layer Pluggable Refactoring, GPT-5.5 Integration

According to Dynamic Insights Beating monitoring, Nous Research's open-source AI agent framework Hermes Agent has released v0.11.0 (codenamed "The Interface Release").

The core architecture change is the introduction of a pluggable Transport Layer (Transport ABC). The previous coupling of format conversion and HTTP transport for each inference provider in a single module has now been split into four independent implementations: AnthropicTransport, ChatCompletionsTransport, ResponsesApiTransport, and BedrockTransport. New providers only need to implement the corresponding interface. Native AWS Bedrock support is built on top of the Converse API using this abstraction. Five new inference paths have been added, including NVIDIA NIM, Arcee AI, Vercel ai-gateway, and integration with Codex OAuth for GPT-5.5. The model selector now supports real-time discovery, allowing new models to go live without manual directory updates.

The interactive terminal has undergone a complete React/Ink rewrite. The backend is based on Python JSON-RPC, supporting a fixed editor, real-time streaming output, round timer in the status bar, Git branch display, and a visual overlay generated by sub-agents.

Plugin capabilities have been expanded: plugins can now register slash commands, directly schedule tools, intercept or veto tool execution, rewrite tool return results, and add custom dashboard tabs. A new /steer command has been added, allowing prompts to be injected mid-agent run, visible to the agent after the next tool call without interrupting the current round or affecting prompt caching. Sub-agents have gained a new Orchestrator role, supporting reassignable workers and configuring maximum nesting depth. Concurrent sub-agents avoid mutual coverage through a file coordination layer. QQBot has joined as the 17th platform, based on QQ Official API v2.
