Omarchy is forever free. There's no monetization scheme coming. I'm already rich and the Omacom Foundation is a well-founded nonprofit.
The only ulterior motive here is to make Linux win on the desktop and create the perfect, malleable computer for all to enjoy!

Nous Research team is so based what can I say
Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

So much has come of this one project!
Start working on yours, change the course of history :)
A month ago, Hermes Gadget was an open SDK running on 11 boards.
Since then:
• 29 boards, including the first ESP32-P4 ones, M5Stack StickS3, ESP32-S3-BOX and the Cheap Yellow Display
• Every Hermes profile gets its own face, in colour, blinking and talking
• Timers the agent sets, face-down sleep, a resting clock
• Spanish, Russian and Chinese on screen
• A Gadgets page in Hermes Desktop: a gadget right in the window, one-click pairing, a live view of every screen
687 commits and 266 merged PRs since, from more than 15 contributors. Thank you all, and @NousResearch.

You can now join the waitlist for the Hermes Agent mobile app to get in as we get more seats!
Thank you to everyone who traveled from across the world to NousCon 2026. We loved spending time with the people who make the Hermes community great.
As you all know, we released the Hermes Mobile beta at the event, and as anticipated it filled up quickly. We are working tirelessly to free up more room in the beta, and to get the app production ready for wider release. The feedback has been incredible so far, and we are excited to share it with the world soon.
In the meantime, please join the waitlist at hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…

People are installing AI extensions every day. prompt helpers, summarizers, workflow tools. They work fine and nothing looks wrong but one of them could be reading everything you type into AI platforms and you would never know.
