Nous Research launches 7-day Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon with $20,000 in cash prizes

Nous Research's seven-day hackathon invites developers to build plugins for Hermes Agent, with submissions due 5PM EST on November 11. Plugins can alter the model Hermes runs on, memory storage, command execution, messaging integrations, and Hermes Desktop. First prize is $10,000 plus a neon sign, merch, and $1,000 in credits, with prizes down to $250 in credits for five runners-up. Entries are submitted via pull request to the plugin catalog, a demo video under 90 seconds on X tagging @NousResearch, and a form. Accepted plugins will be listed in the new Hermes Marketplace, and judges score usefulness, reliability, polish, and creativity.
