Nous Research releases Hermes Agent v0.22.0 with onboarding, connectors and Stable Channel

Nous Research releases Hermes Agent v0.22.0 on October 14, 2026, which it calls "The Threshold Release." Its X post says full release notes are on GitHub, but the post itself does not list the changes.

A later post from Teknium, a Nous Research account, describes the release. He says onboarding now works without connecting a model provider first, that one-click app connectors let users install and log in to apps, and that a Stable Channel offers releases tested more thoroughly than main-branch commits, with main still available for the newest code. Teknium also says more than 2,500 people contributed and calls it the biggest version-to-version change so far. These are his claims; the GitHub changelog is the primary record of the changes.
