What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00033 | $0.02755 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01378 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00551 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00276 |
Grade A, and why
hermes-provider-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 359 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Hermes Provider Setup
Tentaflake context: Inside a tentaflake agent container, you can run
hermes config setinteractively — but if your agent was defined with asettingsattrset inmy-agents.nix, theconfig.yamlinside the container is read-only (mounted:ro). Interactive changes are lost on restart. For a persistent configuration, put settings inmy-agents.nixinstead and rebuild. API keys always go in/run/secrets/hermes-<name>.env(or agenix), not viahermes config set.
When to Use
- Configure LLM provider for Hermes (first-time setup)
- Switch between providers
- Add multi-provider fallback
- Set up custom/self-hosted endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, SGLang)
- Configure credential pool for multi-key rotation
- Troubleshoot provider connectivity
- Switch models mid-session
Procedure
1. Provider Selection Guide
| Provider | Auth | Best for |

| Custom Endpoint | API key + base URL | Self-hosted (Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, LM Studio) |
| DeepSeek | API key | DeepSeek models direct |
| AWS Bedrock | IAM role | Claude, Nova within AWS |
| GitHub Copilot | OAuth | Copilot subscription models |
| xAI | API key or OAuth | Grok models |

| Kimi / Moonshot | API key | Kimi models |
| MiniMax | API key or OAuth | MiniMax models |
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hermes-provider-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository timfewi/tentaflake (30 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,755 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
