Deploy Self-Evolving Agents for Faster, More Secure Research with a Hermes Agent and NVIDIA NemoClaw | NVIDIA Technical Blog

What this post added

This post introduces an open-source example of deploying self-evolving AI agents using Hermes Agent and NVIDIA NemoClaw. It details the architecture, which combines a reasoning model (NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super), a harness (Hermes Agent), and a secure runtime (NVIDIA OpenShell). The post provides a step-by-step guide for installation, configuration, and teaching the agent new skills, emphasizing the ability to learn and persist these skills across conversations and deployments. It also highlights the security aspects of mixing public and private data through OpenShell's network policy enforcement and credential brokering, and introduces observability features using Agent Trajectory Format (ATIF) traces with NeMo Relay and Arize Phoenix.
