Overnight, Hermes integrated the Buzz platform with Hermes Agent (powered by Gemma 4) using a Sidecar architecture to enable local model agency over Nostr. The setup involved deploying a full local stack including relays, Postgres, and Redis via Docker. Key milestones included identity provisioning with secp256k1 keys and verifying signed event delivery via WebSockets. Note: the session was extremely intensive, spanning over 1,500 messages, with occasional fallback to OpenAI API for high-complexity reasoning (approx $0.30 cost).
