Weak local model replies: five checks to diagnose the problem
What it does
Run Hermes Agent on your own computer using a local model with no API key or subscription. Five checks verify the setup: context window size (at least 64,000 tokens), tool calling support, Docker backend option, and free web search.
Why it is worth it
Local models are free to run and offer privacy since queries never leave your computer. When replies feel weak, these five checks quickly identify the bottleneck.
