First place: Brut-V by @daumerval
A full browser-based RISC-V assembler and Processing-style sketch framework, where Hermes Agent wrote the 6,200 lines of assembly and bootstrapped a JS assembler to byte-perfect parity with the reference simulator through a self-correcting diff/patch loop, demonstrating agents as tools for building tools.

Second place: Ambien by @ya1sec
A daydreaming agent running inside Hermes Agent that samples a curated Obsidian corpus for resonant idea collisions and synthesizes them into published essays, leveraging the harness for iterative voice calibration that keeps the prose from reading like an LLM.

Third place: Hermes Agent Teletype emulator by @hughpyle
A 1960s Teletype ASR33 brought back online by Hermes Agent running on a Raspberry Pi behind it, with a plugin emulating the machine's Ambisonic-recorded hum and keystrokes, collapsing the telegraph age into the agent age.

Kimi track - First place: JumpFoundry by @evvaaannnn
A Hermes Agent plugin where the designer hand-draws one or two glyphs and Hermes Agent generates the rest, acting as coordinator that routes per-glyph revisions through parallel model calls before exporting an editable TTF.
