Running @herm_agent on iOS 27 with Apple Foundation Models (Private Cloud Compute). Challenging (32K context window, no server-side tools...), but definitely worth exploring as the best option for privacy.

Early preview of @herm_agent bundled as an agent that can do anything on your phone. It has only one tool: a Unix-like operating system with a bunch of commands (file ops, location, web browser, ffmpeg, etc.). Tested with Grok 4.5, will soon test with Apple Private Cloud Compute. – at Burlingame, CA

Let's see what Grok 4.5 can deliver! It is in fact a lot cheaper than Opus. 💸 Already available in Herm! 🐚 teapaw.org/mntruell/status/207491…
Excited to release Grok 4.5 with @spacexai. It's an Opus-class model that's fast and low cost. It's a significant step up over any model we've developed so far, including Composer 2.5, and has become the daily driver for many on our team. First of many releases. More soon.

CPSL is currently my second weekend pet project (after @herm_agent). Cross-platform Unix-like sandboxes for agents, with a Luau runtime (😉 @Roblox) and Bash & Python interfaces. Next goal: ship a fully sandboxed version of Herm, ready for the macOS App Store, using CPSL instead of Docker containers. I'll keep you posted!
Just open-sourced a small thing that could be a big deal for AI agents if more devs than just me and @gaetan_dv get excited! 😁 UNIX-like mini-OS capsules for agents that run on Linux, macOS, Windows, web browsers, iOS, Android... Website + Github repo 👇

herm v0.6.1 is out! Gemma 4 support, Improved retry logic, Preserving tab focus in config. Bigger things coming soon! Among other things, we're working on a way to let herm access any 3rd party API while the agent should never be able to see your keys. 🔐
