Summary
Nous Research launched Hermes Desktop on June 2 as a native public preview app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Before this release, all existing graphical interfaces for Hermes were third-party builds created by the community. The app ships as version v0.15.2 under the MIT license, meaning it's free to download, free to use, and open to anyone who wants to inspect or modify it. Previously, if you wanted to run Hermes with any kind of visual interface, you had to find it yourself.
