# Triage digest: Hermes Agent local LLM free tier
Generated 2026-10-31. 15 real search results classified into HOT / FOUNDATIONAL / NOISE.
# AI-Agent News Triage
## Verdict
- HOT (3): direct steps to run Hermes on a local LLM with no hosted bill.
- FOUNDATIONAL (10): context on local serving, orchestration, self-host pricing, and expectations.
- NOISE (2): generic vendor price lists, useful for cost math only.

## Methodology
Deterministic keyword triage of the item title; categories checked in priority order (valuation, security, fundraise, product, other); first matching keyword wins.
