Run Hermes Free Forever: Gemma 4 MLX Update Makes It Up to 90% Faster (Ollama + Apple Silicon)
Julian demonstrates how to run Hermes for free using a new Gemma 4 update with Ollama on Apple Silicon via MLX, claiming up to 90–95% faster local performance compared to before. He shows Gemma 4 set up as a free profile inside an agent OS, with examples like quickly responding to prompts, building a simple to‑do list app, and using Hermes’s /learn command to turn a tutorial into a reusable skill that runs in the background. For non‑Mac users, he notes an alternative: using a free OpenRouter API option for the 31B model. He explains that local models keep workflows private, offline, and suitable for long-running agent loops without token or subscription costs, and he briefly outlines setup by updating Ollama and selecting the newer MOX Gemma 4 models.
