Nous Research has launched the Hermes Agent's Computer Use feature on macOS, challenging OpenAI Codex's capabilities. This new functionality integrates with the open-source cua-driver to reverse-engineer Apple's APIs, allowing seamless background operations without disrupting user activity. The Hermes Agent's innovative four-layer context compression mechanism significantly reduces token usage, cutting it from 600,000 to 30,000 tokens for 20 actions at 1568×900 resolution.
