Nous Research has moved its Solstice model‑provider for Hermes Agent into its own GitHub repo. The new plugin (v0.2.0) supports Gemini 4 Argon and other Gemini models, and it works only with Hermes Agent 0.22.0 or newer. Install it with a single command, sign in through the Nous portal, and you can use your personal Google Gemini quota instead of a shared API key.

## The facts

- Version 0.2.0 adds Gemini‑4‑Argon.
- Requires Hermes Agent 0.22.0+ and a Nous portal sign‑in.

## Why it matters

Individual users can now tap their own Gemini quota in Hermes, avoiding shared‑key limits and getting newer Gemini models sooner.
