Hermes CrofAI: model tool for Hermes Agent

What Hermes CrofAI does

The plugin registers CrofAI, a service for hosted open-source LLMs, as a provider in Hermes. The model list is fetched live from CrofAI's API when the provider is selected, and the README names models such as DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash, Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.1, Gemma 4 31B, Qwen3.6 27B and MiMo V2.5 Pro, several with 1M or 262K token contexts and some in higher-precision variants. Running hermes model after selecting CrofAI shows the full live list with pricing.

Setup is a key in ~/.hermes/.env as CROFAI_API_KEY, then hermes --provider crofai, or hermes config set model.provider crofai and model.default, with hermes doctor listing CrofAI under API connectivity. Supported capabilities are streaming and non-streaming chat completions, tool calling, JSON-schema structured outputs, vision on supported models, reasoning effort control (low, medium, high, none) and the standard sampling parameters. The plugin consists of __init__.py, plugin.yaml and install.sh, installed under ~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/crofai.
