Summary
Julian Goldie demonstrates GLM 5.2 (Zhipu AI’s Chinese model) integrated with Hermes Agent, showing how teams of AI agents can autonomously create videos, games, websites, and content. GLM 5.2 is compared favorably against Opus 4.8 and Kimikaze 2.7, producing more interesting and creative outputs for agentic tasks. The video covers setup, agent team organization, and real project examples including an AI avatar video created entirely by coordinated agents.
Key Takeaways
- GLM 5.2 + Hermes enables multi-agent teams — Agents with specialized roles (writer, researcher, editor, judge) work together on complex projects
- Example projects built: AI avatar videos, 3D games, operating systems with individual apps, full websites
- Performance comparison: GLM 5.2 outperformed Opus 4.8 and Kimikaze 2.7 in visual/creative tasks, producing more fun and engaging outputs
- Hermes Agent profiles — Separate profiles for different agent roles; a “judge” agent coordinates teams to iterate until work meets quality standards
- Coordination options: Kanban boards, chat interfaces, workflow tools (Paperclip), or voice-activated Jarvis
- Speed example: Full website with blog built in ~30 minutes by multi-agent team (researcher, writer, builder, judge)
- Cost advantage: GLM 5.2 uses flat-rate pricing vs. Claude’s per-token API costs
- Modularity: Models can be swapped easily as new ones release; agent operating system centralizes workspace, chat, and outputs
Notes
- vs. Claude: Claude’s API is expensive; GLM 5.2 coding plan can be plugged into Hermes directly without API token costs
- Setup: Add model in Hermes dashboard settings or use terminal
