It's probably good to at least be aware of the plagiarism debacle around Hermes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48187581

Linking to the claim [1] might be stronger.

And this weirdness:

"Hermes Agent (and others) default Installs are silently routing web traffic to Parallel"

there is no debacle, ". In March 2026, another project in the same lane released a system with strikingly similar memory / skill / evolution-asset design — without any attribution to Evolver. " there is nothing new about memory (aka sessions saved), skills (aka prompt in a file), etc folks have been doing this for 2+ years.

Wow, I didn't know that. I was getting impressed by Hermes but yeah, I didn't know about it so thanks for telling me.

The behaviour by NousResearch is a bit bad (if I am understanding it correctly, I can be wrong, I usually am) but given its an open source project. I don't think that accredition makes a project bad and I simply don't understand the rationale behind a lot of it and streissand effect is starting to kick in the more they might be trying to hide it.

Why not just accredit EvoMap's Evolver or come up with an official statement or have a proper discussion between the two teams
