Minions

In plain words

Minions is an open source mission control platform designed to manage multiple Hermes agents running in parallel. It provides a centralized task board for monitoring running tasks, performing periodic check-ins, and automatically retrying stuck processes. The tool aims to reduce operational chaos when scaling from single-task agents to managing many concurrent workflows. Currently compatible with Hermes Agent, with support for additional runtimes planned.

From the sources

Your Hermes Agent works great for one task. Try managing 20 in parallel? It's chaos. Cron jobs fail silently, tasks are blocked and you're spending more time fixing your agent than getting results. Minions gives you a single task board to view it all. Every running task gets periodic check-ins, retry if stuck, and escalate only when it's genuinely exhausted alternatives Works with Hermes Agent today, more runtimes coming.

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
