Hermes runs a crew of AI agents for you — each one a different model you can swap in. I just added a new hire to the bench: GLM-5.2, the frontier coder, on a flat Coding Plan. It builds straight into my Hermes workspace while the rest of the crew does their jobs. Here's how it joins the team.

I gave the Hermes crew one job: make a video about GLM-5.2. It researched the release, wrote the script in my voice, put it in my face with my cloned voice, edited it, and a judge graded it. Press play.

Every tile is a real build GLM-5.2 wrote as a Hermes agent. They play right here on the page as you scroll — or hit ⤢ to open one full-screen.
Before
My coding agent was one model, locked in.
When a better one dropped, switching meant a new tool and a new setup.
My agents didn't share anything — different tabs, different memory, nothing saved in one place.
And the good coder charged me per token, so I rationed it.
Then I added GLM-5.2 to Hermes as its own agent.
After
Now GLM-5.2 sits on my crew next to my other agents.
I pick it from a switcher — same chat, same workspace, same board.
It builds straight into my Hermes workspace, where everything it makes is saved and playable.
And it runs on a flat plan, so I never ration it.
You can have this too. Same crew. Same path.
Here's what's happening for the members already running this stack — agency owners, ecom founders, course creators, solo operators. Different businesses. Same engine room.
You've seen the builds. You've seen the proof.
The next few minutes show exactly how GLM-5.2 joins your Hermes crew.
So here's the deal.
Promise yourself one thing right now. You finish this guide, and you add one new agent to your crew before you sleep tonight. Just one. Because the moment your agents share one workspace and you can swap the best model in, your whole build process changes.
The people sitting still are stuck on one locked-in tool. The people who build a crew today are the ones who slot in every new model the day it drops.
Be one of those people.
Commit to the transition. Take action today. This changes how your agents work together.
Treat every new model like a new hire on your Hermes crew. Five plain steps to put it to work — and to swap in the next one the day it drops.
You add the model as its own Hermes profile. GLM-5.2 becomes an agent you can pick — no new app, no new window.
You put it on a flat Coding Plan, not a per-token meter. The new hire works all day for one predictable price.
You give it your Hermes workspace. Everything it builds lands in one place — saved, listed, playable — not lost in a chat.
You sit it next to your other agents. Kimi, N2, GLM-5.2 — pick the right one for the job from one switcher, on one board.
You never get locked in. When a better model drops, you hire it the same way — one profile — and the crew gets stronger.
Because you stop betting on one model. A crew lets you pick the best one per job — and GLM-5.2 is a frontier coder you don't have to meter.
Adding it doesn't replace what you have. It joins it.
Hermes already speaks z.ai. You make a profile, point it at the Coding Plan endpoint, and hand it your key.
Then add the key to that profile, and it's hired. Pick "GLM 5.2" from your agent switcher and start chatting.
Inside Agent OS it's a dropdown and a paste box — no file editing.
And members who'd never opened a terminal already run agents like this.
Ask the new hire to build something. The finished file lands in your Hermes workspace — the "GLM 5.2 ✦" bucket — saved and playable.
No copy-pasting code out of a chat window. No lost work. You open the bucket and click the thing it made.

No — the new agent gets its own bucket, separate from your other agents' work.
One crew, but everyone has their own desk.
GLM-5.2 isn't a loner. On the Hermes kanban you can hand it a card like any other agent.
So a job can flow across the crew — one agent writes, GLM-5.2 builds, another reviews — all on one board you watch.
"The point of a crew isn't one super-agent. It's the right agent for each job, in one place."

"GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks."

In Hermes, make a profile called glm-5-2.
Set provider zai, model glm-5.2, base URL https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4.
Add your key to that profile.
Pick "GLM 5.2" from the agent switcher and say hello.
Ask it to build something — it lands in the GLM 5.2 ✦ workspace bucket.
Hand it a card on the Hermes kanban for bigger jobs.
When the next model drops, hire it the same way.
