Hermes Hosting
Managed Hermes Agent Hosting
Skip the VPS, Docker, and SSL setup. Run Hermes models on managed infrastructure today, or join the waitlist for dedicated Hermes framework hosting — fully managed, from $3/month.
Two Ways to Run Hermes Without a Server
Hermes Agent by Nous Research is a powerful open-source AI agent framework — but self-hosting means renting a VPS, installing Docker, editing YAML, configuring SSL, and keeping it all online. OpenClaw Launch gives you two managed paths to use Hermes without any of that:
1. Hermes models on managed infrastructure (live today). Deploy an OpenClaw agent on any Hermes-series model — Hermes 4 405B, Hermes 4 70B, Hermes 4.3 36B, or Hermes 3 — via OpenRouter. Managed hosting, auto SSL, channels built in. Your agent speaks on Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp in 10 seconds.
2. Native Hermes framework hosting (private beta). Dedicated managed Hermes Agent instances — persistent multi-level memory, 40+ built-in tools, self-improving loop — with the same zero-setup deploy. Join the waitlist below.
What's Included
Hermes Models, Managed
Run Hermes 4 405B, Hermes 4 70B, Hermes 4.3 36B, or Hermes 3 on fully managed infrastructure via OpenRouter. No GPU, no Ollama install, no VRAM management.
10-Second Deploy
Configure your agent visually, pick a Hermes model, click deploy. Your bot is live on Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, or the web UI in seconds — no Docker, no SSH.
Auto SSL + 24/7 Uptime
Every hosted instance gets automatic SSL, health checks, and monitoring. We restart failed containers, renew certs, and keep your agent online so you don't have to.
Messaging Channels Built In
Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, WeChat, and web chat work out of the box. No webhook setup, no port forwarding, no Caddy config.
Encrypted API Keys
Your OpenRouter key, bot tokens, and configs are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We never read your conversations.
Flat Monthly Price
From $3/mo for Lite, $20/mo for Pro. AI credits included each month. No per-message fees, no surprise bills for GPU time.
Hermes Models You Can Deploy Today
All Hermes-series models are available through OpenRouter on every OpenClaw Launch plan. Switch models anytime from the dashboard — no redeploy.
- Hermes 4 405B — Nous Research's flagship model, hybrid reasoning, best for complex agents
- Hermes 4 70B — Best balance of quality and speed for most assistants

- Hermes 3 8B — Lightweight, fast inference for simple bots
See the full list on the models page. Pricing is pay-as-you-go via OpenRouter — your monthly AI credits cover most usage.

FAQ
Is this actual Hermes Agent hosting, or just Hermes models?
Today, OpenClaw Launch hosts Hermes models on managed infrastructure — you run an OpenClaw agent that uses Hermes 4 / Hermes 3 as its underlying language model. Native Hermes Agent framework hosting (with its own memory system, tool library, and self-improving loop) is in private beta. Join the waitlist above.
Can I bring my own OpenRouter key?
Yes. Configure your OpenRouter API key in the dashboard and pay-as-you-go per model. Or use your included monthly AI credits without adding a key.
What channels work with Hermes models?
All OpenClaw Launch channels work with any model: Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp (Baileys), WeChat, and the web chat UI. No per-channel setup.
Can I self-host if I want full control?
Yes — OpenClaw itself is open source. See the install guide for self-hosting. For Hermes framework self-hosting, refer to the Hermes Agent repo.
