New Hermes skill auto-picks the best AI model for each task
'model-task-router' is a Hermes skill that looks at what you're asking and automatically sends the task to whichever AI model handles it best. Benchmark data shows a big gap: Hermes V4-Pro solves 8% of real coding challenges, while GPT-5.5 solves 70%.
When you use Hermes, you normally decide yourself which AI model to use. This skill removes that manual step — it reads the task and picks the most capable model for it automatically, then hands the work off.
The creator used DeepSWE benchmark data to back up the routing logic. DeepSWE is a set of real software development problems used to measure coding ability. V4-Pro passed only 8% of those tasks; GPT-5.5 passed 70%. The router uses gaps like this to redirect tough coding work to stronger models while keeping simpler tasks in Hermes, so you get better results without switching tools yourself.
Key points
- Install it as a Hermes skill and it works immediately — no manual model switching needed.
- The skill reads each task and routes it to the model most likely to succeed.
- On the DeepSWE coding benchmark: V4-Pro 8% vs GPT-5.5 70% — a large performance gap.
- Coding-heavy tasks get handed off to stronger models automatically.
- Hermes acts as a central hub that coordinates multiple AI models behind the scenes.
