Nous Research added Codex runtime integration to Hermes Agent. The update lets the tool execution backend switch to Codex for OpenAI models. Requests route through the Codex CLI app-server and activate with one toggle. It replaces text responses with code execution, file handling, and command operations inside agent sessions. The integration uses Codex sandbox, plugins, and shell tools without separate API keys or token charges, drawing instead from an existing ChatGPT subscription and remaining optional for developers.

JUST IN 🔥
Hermes Agent can now route OpenAI turns through the Codex CLI app-server!
Your ChatGPT subscription becomes the engine
No API key No metered tokens
Codex’s sandbox, plugins, and shell tools all run inside a Hermes session.
They wrapped OpenAI’s agent runtime as a backend and made it optional.

⚡ Hermes Agent صار يقدر يستخدم Codex كـ runtime للأدوات الأساسية إذا كنت مشغله على نماذج OpenAI
🛠️ الفكرة ببساطة أنك تقدر تبدل محرك تنفيذ الأدوات إلى Codex بزر واحد بدل ما يكون مجرد نموذج يرد عليك بالنص
🧠 هذا مهم لأن Codex مصمم أكثر للشغل التنفيذي مثل قراءة الملفات وتشغيل الأوامر والتعامل مع الكود وسلاسل الأدوات
🚀 بالنسبة لمستخدمي Hermes هذا يعني تجربة أقرب لوكيل فعلي يشتغل على جهازك ويستخدم الأدوات بشكل أقوى وأكثر تخصصًا

@HermesAgentTips @Teknium Love the name change ✌️❤️
@Teknium hah! Started this project today... not ready though... but will have something along those lines, only on a running Hermes😅 https://github.com/buckster123/ApexAurum-HermesEdition
@AndreBuckingham nice!
@Teknium huge
@Teknium
@Teknium this is news!
@Teknium this works in Zed as well via ACP 👀
@Teknium unbelievable
@Teknium @NousResearch What's the benefits of this? 🤔
@NousResearch Be sure to run `hermes update` to access now :)
@Teknium Codex as the Hermes runtime is Christmas-morning stuff because the agent can touch real repo work, not just talk about it. I’d test one messy multi-file fix first.

@Teknium thanks... 🙏 Backend should be good, smoketests pass and health endpoints are ok today... but the frontend needs work still... using kimi 2.6 in hermes for the job
