I’m working on a document ingestion engine in n8n that will archive documents and create an index in Postgres.

I plan on making cron jobs for Hermes to read all new documents and update a summary md file for each project. The file will contain updates, work orders, and work order status. Hermes will do this by reading archived files and fetching them using the Postgres index.

I’m thinking of Hermes maintaining these md files as notes in open web ui and sharing those notes as read only to all employees.

Any thoughts on this or pitfalls I may have overlooked? I’ve landed on this workflow because I don’t really trust employees having access to an agent with pretty wide system access. With these md files, they won’t even need an agent like Hermes. Plus, the models in open web ui can tool call and access the notes for context.

Is anyone using a memory provider for business use?

I’m trying to get Hermes up and running for my business. It will only be me using it. I’m wondering what would be some good options to look at. It needs to run locally.

Main things it would be tracking or “memorizing” are project status, payments, invoices, and things like that. I think most of this would be done by Hermes populating Postgres’s tables but I’m not sure.

If anyone has set something up like this, I’d appreciate the insight!

I’m using Opencode and a computer with 128gb. So maybe the results would be different on system.

I’ve exhaustingly tried Qwen3.6 27B and Qwen3.6 33B. I have no idea why but they just fall apart when doing more complex tasks with many tool calls. They’re pretty aggressive, doing slightly more than asked, and end up digging themselves into problems.

Gemma4 31B and the 26B are literally the opposite. They can’t simply get things done. I have to sit there babysitting them just saying ok, ok, ok.

Tool calling on bot the Qwen and Gemma MoE models feel buggy. Consistently just getting blank responses.

The one model that I just keep coming back to is Qwen3.5 122B. It seemingly just gets the job done.

I spent all day trying to just extract a few specific data fields from about 160 PowerPoints using these models and just ran into issue after issue. I just gave Qwen3.5 122B a goal of what I wanted and it did it in about 2 hours.

I feel like the fully dense ~30B dense models out there are alright but just aren’t worth how slow they are. The MoE models around this size are just trash. You’re just better off on a system with 16gb and using models by API.

The 120B size MoE models really hit such a sweet of capability and speed. I really hope to see more at this size. Yeah not everyone has the ram for this but I really feel like I’m just wasting time and effort using anything g smaller.

Anyone else feel the same?

Using them in opencode. Mainly writing python scripts to set up workflows.

I really do like Gemma4 even though it just sometimes doesn’t want to go the extra length. I really have to end up pushing it. It’s like really stubborn or something lol

For both Qwen models, they’re great and work really well. But I keep getting really bad issues with typos in code that are tough to trouble shoot. One was a typo in the directory. It just hallucinated what a folder was called. Zero of these issues with Gemm4 though.

So I snapped my chain twice today on my mtb ride. Using XX1 eagle drivetrain. Have about 650 miles on it right now. It happened on some bad shifts but nothing too terrible I’d say.

Should I look to replace it or continue with having 3 quick links on it? It doesn’t indicate any wear either. I hot wax about every 10 hours of riding.

My office is moving and it will now be 15 miles from my house. Of those 15 miles, roughly 10 miles are bike path. I'm pretty excited for this since I can now get about 2 hours of riding a day while saving an hour of sitting in my car. I average about 7-9 hours of riding a week already so I'm not too worried about fitness.

The only problem is I don't think we will have showers. I'll probably plan on bringing a change of clothes in a large saddle bag on my road bike and keep a pair of shoes at work. My office wear is pretty casual with some slacks and a collared shirt. As for hygiene, I'm not sure what to do here. Body wipes and some dry shampoo? Any advice would be appreciated!

Currently riding a 2022 Santa Cruz Blur TR with an xx1 drivetrain.

While I have no complaints, I’m kind of itching to get into something new within the next year or so.

There’s just so many options out there. My only real requirements are 120mm front and 120mm rear as well as two bottle mounts in the front triangle. In frame storage and headset routed cables aren’t all that appealing to me.

Is there anything specific or unique about your current ride that you like? Or is there anything specific you don’t like about certain bikes in this category?
