According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Nous Research's open-source AI agent framework Hermes Agent has released v0.11.0 (codenamed 'The Interface Release'). The core architectural change is the introduction of a pluggable transport layer (Transport ABC). Previously, the format conversion and HTTP transport for various inference providers were coupled in a single module, but now they have been split into four independent implementations: AnthropicTransport, ChatCompletionsTransport, ResponsesApiTransport, and BedrockTransport, allowing new providers to simply implement the corresponding interfaces. Native AWS Bedrock support is built on top of this abstraction based on the Converse API. Five new inference paths have been added, including NVIDIA NIM, Arcee AI, and Vercel ai-gateway, with access to GPT-5.5 via Codex OAuth. The model selector supports real-time discovery, and new models can go live without manual directory updates. The interactive terminal has been completely rewritten in React/Ink, with a backend in Python JSON-RPC, supporting fixed editors, real-time streaming output, a status bar displaying round timers and Git branches, as well as a visual overlay layer generated by sub-agents. Plugin capabilities have been expanded: plugins can register slash commands, directly schedule tools, intercept or veto tool execution, rewrite tool return results, and add custom dashboard tabs. A new /steer command allows prompts to be injected mid-execution, which the agent will see after the next tool call, without interrupting the current round or disrupting prompt caching. The sub-agent has introduced a orchestrator role, supporting the re-derivation of workers and configuring maximum nesting depth, with concurrent sub-agents avoiding overlap through a file coordination layer. QQBot has joined as the 17th platform, based on QQ Official API v2.
