Hermes can connect to custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints through its model wizard or config.
Model wizard
Run the Hermes model setup flow and choose the custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint option. Enter the base URL, API key, model name, and context window requested by the wizard.
export IMOLE_API_KEY="imole_live_..."
hermes modelDelegation override
For subagent delegation, Hermes supports a direct endpoint override. This sends delegated calls to the configured OpenAI-compatible endpoint and model.
delegation:
base_url: https://api.imole.app/v1
api_key: ${IMOLE_API_KEY}
model: gpt-5.6-solUsage
Use gpt-5.6-sol with high reasoning for code delegation. Use gpt-5.6-terra with medium reasoning for mixed work. Keep media generation in Imole Agent or direct media routes unless Hermes has a matching tool path.
