Hermes has quickly become one of the most used tools for AI enthusiasts. It is getting improved all the time. It can now read the web 60x faster and up to 49x cheaper. It performs searches and returns ranked results. It can also extract readable content from one or more URLs. As explained on the official site:
Backends return raw page markdown, which can be huge (forum threads, docs sites, news articles with embedded comments). To keep your context window usable and your costs down, web_extract runs returned content through the web_extract auxiliary model before handing it to the agent. Behavior is purely size-driven
You can easily route extraction summaries to cheap, fast models in your config file. To get started, run Hermes Tools, go to Web Search & Extract, and provide the right provider.
