Fortytwo for Hermes

Adds Fortytwo to Hermes's provider picker using its public provider-profile API. Requires Hermes 0.22.5 or later. Model: qwen/qwen3.8-27b, with text and image input, streaming, tool calls, reasoning and a 262,144-token context window.

Install

Until the catalogue entry is accepted, install from this repository:

hermes plugins install https://github.com/Fortytwo-Network/fortytwo-hermes

Once listed in the Hermes catalogue:

hermes plugins install fortytwo-provider

Get an API key from Fortytwo, then use hermes model to select Fortytwo and enter the key through Hermes's prompt. Alternatively, supply FORTYTWO_API_KEY through your environment or Hermes's credential settings. Select qwen/qwen3.8-27b.

The plugin sends native efforts none, low, medium and xhigh. Unset effort leaves the API default in charge. Wider Hermes levels round down to the nearest offered level. Hermes reads Fortytwo's reasoning response field natively.

See models, OpenAI compatibility and the Hermes guide.

Data and permissions

Hermes sends prompts, images and tool results to https://api.fortytwo.network/v1 using the key you configure. Requests carry HTTP-Referer identifying this repository and X-Title: Hermes Agent via Fortytwo for application attribution. There is no separate telemetry endpoint. Backend attribution reporting has not yet been verified.

The plugin registers only a provider profile. It does not read credential files, run shell commands, start background processes, patch Hermes or update itself. Credentials and transport are managed by Hermes. Catalogue updates require a reviewed SHA bump. No additional Python dependencies are required.
