Hermes, running on your own hardware. Delivered working.
You have already decided to run Hermes locally. We handle everything between that decision and your first conversation: the right machine, the model installed and tuned, and a clean interface for daily use. Skip the weekends of trial and error.
You could build this. The question is whether you want to spend the weekends.
Plenty of people in this community have built their own rig, and if the tinkering is the point for you, we respect that; it is how most of us learned. But getting Hermes to run at full capability is a real project: sizing the hardware for the model and context length you actually want, picking the right quantization, tuning the serving stack, benchmarking, and fixing what breaks along the way.
If the destination matters more than the journey, that is the part we sell. You tell us how you want to use Hermes, and we deliver a machine built for it, with the model installed, optimized, and tested, with measured numbers and a warranty behind it. Working on day one.
The reasons you are here, taken seriously.
Full control
It is your machine and your model. You decide how it runs, what it remembers, and what it connects to. Root access is yours. We deliver it working, not locked down.
Real privacy
Nothing you type leaves your home. No account, no telemetry, no conversation stored on a company's server. Your ideas, your projects, and your questions stay yours, and none of it becomes training data for someone else's product.
No filter imposed by a third party
Hermes models, developed by Nous Research, are known for following your instructions without a company layer deciding what you are allowed to ask. Run locally, that choice is entirely in your hands: within the law, on your own responsibility.
Yours forever
No subscription, no usage cap, no "you have reached your daily limit". No provider that can degrade the model, change its behavior overnight, or shut down and take your workflow with it. The version you have today is the version you have tomorrow.
Works without internet
On a plane, off grid, or during an outage, your AI keeps working, because it lives in your house, not in a data center.
A complete system, not a box of parts.
Hardware sized for the real model
We build the machine around the Hermes model you actually want to run, at the size and context length you want, with room to breathe. No guesswork, no second purchase.
Installed, tuned, and tested
The model arrives configured for the best performance your hardware can deliver, and every build is benchmarked before it ships. Your machine comes with its own measured bench sheet: you get the capability you paid for, verified, in writing.
Two ways to use it
A clean chat interface in the browser for daily use, and full direct access for everything else. It is your machine. We set it up, we do not fence it in.
Warranty and support from people who do this daily
Every build includes a 1-year hardware warranty: if a component fails, we repair or replace it at our workshop, one warranty and one phone number, no arguing with component manufacturers. With the maintenance plan, warranty service becomes white glove: one-business-day response, remote diagnosis first, and priority replacement so you keep working while we handle the repair, and the warranty stays active for as long as the plan is. From order to first conversation: typically 3 to 5 weeks.
Better models will come. Your machine is ready for them.
Open models improve fast, and that is good news for you: the hardware is the platform, and the model is software. When a stronger model is released, a new Hermes or whatever comes next, we install and tune it on the machine you already own.
With our maintenance plan, that happens as a matter of routine: updates, new models when you want them, performance tuning, and support. Your investment gets better with time instead of aging.
From a personal machine to a serious homelab.
Two standard configurations cover most people, and we build to order when they do not. Investment ranges are published openly on our pricing page.
For one person running Hermes daily at home
Runs the mid-size Hermes models with long context, built for quiet operation, comfortable in the room where you work.
For power users, heavy daily use, and small teams
Runs the large Hermes models with extended context, with headroom for the models that come next. Happiest in a closet or rack.
Built to your target
Want a specific setup, more capacity, or a rack build for a serious homelab? Tell us the target and we will spec it with you, with the same bench sheet and the same warranty.
The full specification and the measured performance numbers for your build come with the proposal, before you commit, and every machine ships with its own bench sheet. We are happy to talk hardware in as much depth as you want; that conversation just happens with an engineer instead of a brochure.
Asked before every build.
What is the easiest way to run Hermes locally?
Buy a machine built for it. Soverance.ai delivers hardware sized for the Hermes model you want, with the model installed, tuned, and benchmarked, working on day one, so you skip sizing the hardware, picking quantization, tuning the serving stack, and fixing what breaks. If tinkering is the point for you, building your own rig is a respectable path; this is for people who value the destination over the journey.
Do I keep control of a Soverance.ai Hermes machine?
Yes. It is your machine and your model: root access is yours, you decide how it runs, what it remembers, and what it connects to. It is delivered working, not locked down, and it runs fully offline with no account and no telemetry.
What happens when a better model than Hermes comes out?
The hardware is the platform and the model is software. When a stronger model is released, Soverance.ai installs and tunes it on the machine you already own, as routine work under the maintenance plan.
You did the research. We do the build.
Tell us which Hermes you want to run and how you plan to use it. We will recommend the right machine, with honest numbers about what it can and cannot do, and deliver it working.
