Switch AI Model to Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B

hi

Hi! I'm Hermes Agent, ready to help you with tasks like coding, research, file management, web browsing, and more. What would you like to work on?

model

I'm currently running on zai-org/GLM-5 via Hugging Face.

What would you like to know? Are you looking to:

Switch to a different model?
Learn about ML models and training?
Something else?

switch to a different model

The user wants to switch to a different model. I should ask what model they'd like to switch to. I can provide some options or let them specify.

Looking at my available tools, I don't have a direct tool to switch models in the current session. The model is configured at the provider/provider level. However, I can inform the user about available options.

Let me check what I know - the current model is zai-org/GLM-5 on Hugging Face. The user may want to switch to a different provider/model combination. This would typically require reconfiguration at the config level.

I should ask the user which model they want to switch to, and clarify that this might require configuration changes.

I don't have a built-in tool to switch models mid-session, but I can help you configure a different model. To switch, you'd need to update your Hermes Agent configuration.

Some common options:

Providers:

huggingface - Open source models (current)
openai - GPT-4, GPT-3.5, etc.
anthropic - Claude models
groq - Fast inference with Llama, Mixtral
openrouter - Access to many models through one API
ollama - Local models

Popular models:

claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet
gpt-4-turbo, gpt-4o
llama-3-70b, mistral-large
glm-4, glm-4-plus

Which model and/or provider would you like to switch to? I can guide you through the configuration.

hugging face Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B

The user wants to switch to Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B on Hugging Face. I should help them understand how to configure this. The model switching typically requires updating the configuration file for Hermes Agent.

Let me help them by explaining how to configure this. The configuration is usually in a config.yaml file in the ~/.hermes directory.

I should check what configuration options exist or guide them on how to make this change.

To switch to Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B on Hugging Face, you'll need to update your Hermes config.

Let me check your current configuration:

{"success": true, "diff": "--- a//Users/clem/.hermes/config.yaml\n+++ b//Users/clem/.hermes/config.yaml\n@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@\n model:\n-  default: Jackrong/Qwen3.5-27B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled\n+  default: Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B\n   provider: huggingface\n   base_url: https://router.huggingface.co/v1\n toolsets:\n", "files_modified": ["/Users/clem/.hermes/config.yaml"], "lint": {"status": "skipped", "message": "No linter for .yaml files"}}

I see your current config. You're on Hugging Face with a Qwen 3.5 27B model. Let me update it to Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B:

Done! I've updated your config to use Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B.

Change made:

Previous: Jackrong/Qwen3.5-27B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled
New: Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B

To use the new model, you'll need to restart Hermes (exit this session and start a new one). The change will take effect on the next session.

Review the conversation above and consider saving or updating a skill if appropriate.

Focus on: was a non-trivial approach used to complete a task that required trial and error, or changing course due to experiential findings along the way, or did the user expect or desire a different method or outcome?

If a relevant skill already exists, update it with what you learned. Otherwise, create a new skill if the approach is reusable.
If nothing is worth saving, just say 'Nothing to save.' and stop.

Let me review the conversation:

User asked to switch models
I explained the available options and providers
User specified they wanted "hugging face Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B"
I read their config file to see the current configuration
I patched the config to update the model name

This was a straightforward task - read config, update a single line. No trial and error, no changing course, no complex approach needed. The user got exactly what they wanted with minimal friction.

Nothing about this was particularly complex or required a reusable approach worth saving as a skill. It's a simple config file edit.

Nothing to save.

The task was straightforward: read the config file, patch one line to change the model name. No trial and error, no course corrections, and the user got exactly what they wanted on the first try.
