Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale.
He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt.
Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world.
At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.

Today, we’re releasing Bonsai 2 2B, 4B, and 9B.
Based on Qwen3.5, these new ternary models bring stronger reasoning, visual understanding, and tool calling to compact footprints designed for everyday devices:
• 2B: 0.43GB
• 4B: 0.95GB
• 9B: 2.0GB
For this release, we focused on what makes small models useful as local assistants: following instructions, avoiding repetitive loops, calling tools on mobile devices, and giving useful answers without unnecessary output. The 9B model uses roughly 40% fewer tokens on standard instruction-following and everyday math tasks. Solving the Riemann hypothesis can wait.
These models are successors to our first-generation Bonsai 1.7B, 4B, and 8B, and provide a foundation for bringing practical agentic functionality to local applications on personal computers, phones, and wearables.
The Bonsai 2 family now includes four sizes spanning 2B to 27B parameters. Developers can choose the balance of capability, memory use, and responsiveness that fits their application and hardware.
Available today under Apache 2.0.

The right to self-custody is a hallmark of Bitcoin and blockchain technology and a principle that I believe in 100%."

It is very cool to see llama.cpp on the big stage in todays Windows event!
The software and hardware stacks are finally coming together. Our community has put a lot of hard work in the past years and it shows.
Looking forward to more users embracing local AI.

After Bill Gates became friends with Warren Buffett, he began to diversify his portfolio and sold Microsoft shares.
Bill Gates' fortune today is 138 billion dollars, if he hadn't diversified it would be 1.33 trillion dollars.

We were lucky enough to see the latest version of Roadrunner in action for the first time in our Cambridge lab! Our colleagues from RAI’s Zurich office gave us a preview of their IROS demo and did a Q&A after. What do you think of the new design?

This is so cool. DHH absolutely roasting the frontier-lab doomer class, at Rails World 2026 in Austin.
taking a sledgehammer to the “I worked at a frontier lab, therefore trust my apocalypse forecast” mindset.
"Maybe we should lean in with a little bit more optimism, with a little bit of P-Bloom instead of oh so much P-Doom. The chances of this panning out and us getting abundance and joy is so vastly greater than us getting the doom."
