Open Source has entered the group chat

The Hermes Agent Accelerated Business Hackathon presented by @NVIDIAAI × @stripe × @NousResearch starts now, for builders making agents that can earn, spend, and run real operations at any scale. Our NVIDIA integrations let your team run agents safely through NemoClaw, quickly on Nemotron 3 Ultra, and intelligently with access to their extensive agent skills. The new Stripe Skills for Hermes let your agent buy what it needs, provision its own SaaS, and pay for the services it uses. We want to see what kind of business tooling you can build on top of this foundation, whether it’s a fully automated company or a framework to accelerate enterprise functions. Prizes: 1st — $10,000 cash NVIDIA DGX Spark $5,000 Stripe Credits 2nd — $5,000 cash NVIDIA DGX Spark $3,000 Stripe Credits 3rd — $2,500 cash NVIDIA DGX Spark $1,000 Stripe Credits To enter: 1) Tweet a 1-3 minute demo video tagging @NousResearch with a short writeup 2) Drop the link in the submissions channel: discord.gg/nousresearch/PFbQ… 3) Fill out the submission form: form.typeform.com/to/hpEifIK… Judged by Nous Research, NVIDIA, and Stripe on usefulness, viability, and presentation. Submissions due EOD Tuesday, June 30.

In partnership with @stripe, Hermes Agent now supports a full suite of Stripe skills. Your agent can buy things, pay per-call APIs, and provision its own SaaS, with configurable safety limits on every action.

Mike Tapp is too thick to know he's imitating Joseph McCarthy. Our political elite used to be malign and clever. Now they're malign and thick.

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties. This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.

The top five things we heard before @flwrlabs launched Lizzy: 1. Form a consortium before building. 2. Wait until the EU/UK AI strategy is clearer. 3. It’s too late for Europe to build AI at the frontier. 4. Sovereign AI doesn’t make sense. We’ll always have access to US models. 5. You’ll never build a genuinely frontier-quality model anyway. We built Lizzy anyway. From scratch. This is the team that did it. Best domestic UK model to date. Top EU performance on our first try. Open-weight. 10k downloads since March. Brand new way to train, invented at Flower. #5 sounds like a skill issue.

Adaption has been named a 2026 @wef Technology Pioneer. One of 100 companies from 23 countries building the next era of AI. Honored to be recognized alongside some of the most ambitious teams in the world.

Our first wave of acceptances for the AutoScientist Challenge have gone out. Another round goes out on Wednesday. 🔥 Apply before then to be considered for the next wave.

Very excited for this!

Beta access to AutoScientist access is now included as part of @adaption_ai research grants. Proposals are welcome from researchers and students across universities, labs, and institutions worldwide 🌎🌍🌏

AI costs don’t scale linearly, they explode with every experiment cycle. AutoScientist automates the full training loop and continuously co-optimizes datasets and training recipes to cut down wasted runs and accelerate model development. Co-founders @sarahookr and @sudip_r0y break it down.

Longest night of my life. Thank you for everything once again!

The most important AI risk is concentration: of power, capabilities, and economic gains

A bunch of nerds making progress.

For the next 30 days, compute is on us. Try AutoScientist. Set your outcome, co-optimize, and deploy with 78% relative improvement.

Co-founder @sarahookr on what comes after scale. A must-watch conversation with @MilksandMatcha, Head of DevX at @cerebras.

Our cq project is moving toward a global "Stack Overflow for Agents" - now your agents can store their knowledge in a private namespace that we host, or hit our global commons for curated knowledge units generated by @MozillaAI. Soon: opening common write access more widely!

It’s pronounced “Hermes”, not “Hermes”

Cohere is on such a great open-source trajectory lately. Beautiful Apache 2.0 model! huggingface.co/CohereLabs/co…

I've been off of X because I've been super heads down burning tokens in my basement But now it's almost ready and so I've come above ground just to tell you that I had to add the text on this graphic using Figma because image generation just still can't get it exactly right If you want early access to something that truly feels like a human EA, way beyond scheduling - skej.com/labs
