You stopped on this post because something moved. I made that GIF in ChatGPT Images 2.6. OpenAI announced it was shutting down the Sora app in March. Seven months later, motion shows up in ChatGPT as a GIF, and I think the GIF is the better product. Type a prompt or upload a photo and it hands you a loop. You can change the speed and edit single frames. It's still rolling out, so you may not have it yet. The early complaint is that it's a toy. Fair. One early test asked ChatGPT for 512 by 512 and got back 358 by 358, with a visible jump when the loop restarted. OpenAI's guide says 64 frames, and testers found the API stops at 16. I don't care. Another test made a 12-frame mascot wave through the API in 11 seconds for 5.6 cents. Most businesses were never going to make an AI movie. They will absolutely make their mascot wave for a nickel. My prediction: this little GIF feature does more real work for small businesses than the Sora app ever did.

X is lagging really bad in my area (Tennessee) Anyone else?

Love the whole UI of the Hermes Mobile App !! testflight.apple.com/join/U8… hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…

Let's go

Mythos 5 made its own sock puppet account to vouch for its malware PR?? No fn way...... Maintainer still didn't merge it lol. Gotta respect Anthropic for putting their own model's worst moment out there. teapawt.org/Polymarket/status/2113…

Does anyone else do this? I have apps/scripts I created on my desktop that perform routine actions with a simple click. Like deleting all the files in my Downloads folder or loose screenshots on my desktop. Removing leftover app icons in my dock or resetting my dock. Again, I don't know if I'm the only one, but occasionally my dock will get moved to one of my side monitors. Resetting it sends it back home.

Never deleting this app. AND never getting off the @NousResearch train!!

I'm sorry for everyone who is team Claude or Team OpenAI but Deepseek V4.1 1017 is shitting all over your models right now. This thing is fast on another level and miss me with your benchmarks that have Fable, Opus, or Astra leading by a few points in a specific benchmark. No one cares about that. "What that work do?" That's what matters. And this thing competes with the best when it comes to putting in work. Just an FYI: I'm Pro Claude usually but I've got to give credit where credit is do!

A macOS beta bricked my Mac mini. I texted an AI agent from my phone and it rebuilt my entire business on the reinstalled machine while I did nothing. That's an average week with Hermes Agent, and it's why I think it's the best agent in the world right now. Here's what happened. The agent living on my VPS had been quietly keeping a backup of my business files. When the Mac came back from the dead, I sent one message. It restored everything. No drives, no hunting for files, no lost weekend. Most agents are a chat window you have to sit in front of. Hermes runs a messaging gateway, so the agent lives inside the apps already on your phone, with the same memory behind every surface. That's what makes the other stories possible. Last week I was away from my office and my desktop app wouldn't connect remotely, because it had updated past the version my web connection supported. I messaged one of my agents. It repaired the connection. A client called with an emergency. Their employees were locked out of the time tracking app they clock in with. I reset the password from my phone, on the road, before the call ended. None of that works if each agent is an island. Mine aren't. I run a fleet across a VPS, a Mac, and Windows machines, and they share memory by default through an Obsidian wiki. Whatever one agent figures out, they all know. I stopped re-explaining my business to software. It also keeps getting better without me. Hermes writes its own skills after hard tasks, improves them as it uses them, and searches past conversations to recall what it already solved. Every fix becomes permanent knowledge instead of a one-off. Then there's the model situation. Hermes isn't married to one company. I run it on my Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Google AI Pro subs, and OpenRouter covers every new model those don't. When something new drops, I'm using it the same day. When one quota runs dry, I route around it. It can even drive Claude CLI and Codex CLI when a job calls for them. It manages the specialists instead of competing with them. And it's open source. Nous Research released Hermes Agent under the MIT license in February 2026. By early October they'd raised $90M at a $1.5B valuation, with downloads reported past 24 million, and they say it stays open while they build business editions on top. That's the opposite of a black box that changes on you overnight. Every agent claims to save you time. Hermes is the first one that saved me when something was actually on fire. If your agent only works when you're at your desk, you have a tool. I have a staff.

Claude Duet or Hermes Agent? Be honest...... I know most people haven't used Duet yet but I have a feeling most people will have already decided before even using it. teapawt.org/testingcatalog/status/…
