1. Paying for Open Router only.

2. Local VPS: serve small models like Desert Ant, Laya, etc only (the VPS has GPU).

3. Hermes only: Stick with one, arch is converging.

4. No. Used to use Hedr but that's about it. I ask Hermes to do that for me. (or create custom Hermes agents by specifying graph in text)

5. Just Hermes: refer to #3. - Fun at home, build, automate, disabled gateways for online chatting becauese of bugs (not sharing)

Hermes, OpenRouter, . No Claude/Codex sub too expensive. Use them at work instead.
