Most people run their agent on Claude or ChatGPT and never think about it again. The trick is matching the right model to each task so you get more performance per dollar. In this one I wire Minimax M3 into Hermes agent, test it with multimodal images, a Firecrawl scrape of a real website, and live web lookups. It's genuinely quick, it's a fraction of the cost, and it sees images and browses the web. You own the agent and rent the brain.

Wiring Minimax M3 into Hermes agent for cheaper faster AI with Firecrawl scraping, multimodal image reading, dynamic model routing and a 1 million context window that beats relying on Claude or ChatGPT alone.
