AI Application Trend Vane (Public Account: ZhidxcomAI) Author｜Bi Weihao Editor｜Moying Zhidongxi reported on July 21 that when they woke up, the Hermes Agent user circle exploded, and the official released the latest version: Mercury. As the name suggests, the latest version focuses on "fast", which is as smooth as mercury, and the cold start speed is increased by 80%. But in this update, "fast" is just the appetizer. The official version introduction video is still as artistic as ever: The magnitude of this update can be clearly explained by a series of numbers: 2245 submissions, 1065 merged PRs, 2465 file changes, 300,000 lines of new code, 3300 issues closed, and more than 450 community contributors participating, and all of this is only 20 days since the previous version v0.18.0. As a loyal user of Hermes, after experiencing many update failures and small bugs in the v0.18 version, I finally updated to the latest version. Next, I will list the most important content in this update based on actual experience (including the minor version update on July 20). The key functions are as follows: 1. The cold start speed is increased by 80%, and the small "thinking" at the beginning of the conversation has almost disappeared; 2. The default real-time streaming thinking mode allows you to clearly see the thinking process; 3. Markdown rendering CPU usage is reduced by 14 times, with smaller load and faster speed; 4. Desktop version UI upgrade, supports distributed arrangement of multiple sessions, and views different sessions at the same time; 5. Default intelligent approval, will not ask every time a task is executed; 6. Added xhigh and maximum thinking intensity, which can be adjusted in a single task and model without taking the overall situation; 7. Password manager integration, Bitwarden and 1Password are directly connected to Hermes, and keys are no longer exposed; 8. Virtualized diff, dynamic rendering, the large file modification panel will not freeze, and only renders the part on the current screen; 9. Session switching is smoother, and the white screen will no longer flash when redrawing the sidebar layout; 10. Sub-Agent real-time monitoring
