    @NousResearchHermes Desktop now sets up local models in one click. It automatically reads your hardware, picks the best model for you, then downloads it and configures the runtime.
    @danielhanchenHermes now has a local backend! There's support for Unsloth UD-Q4_K_XL and UD-Q4_K_M quants for DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Qwen3.8-27B, 3.6-35B-A3B and Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in Hermes!
