Nous Research releases Advanced Delegation plugin for Hermes Agent
Overview
Nous Research releases an Advanced Delegation plugin for Hermes Agent, which lets the orchestrator assign a different model or profile to each subagent, according to its X account, @NousResearch, on October 26, 2026.
The routes are configured by the user.
Contributor Teknium says the plugin has two modes: model-based delegation and profile-based delegation, the latter working like kanban. In a later post, Teknium says the orchestrator can select any agent profile or a custom model routing table. He adds that cheap models can handle fast tasks while deeper reasoning models handle harder work.
