A NEW OPEN-SOURCE AGENT JUST BEAT HERMES ON THE GAIA BENCHMARK, RUNNING ON THE EXACT SAME LOCAL MODEL AND HARDWARE @atomicagent_io ran 53 real-world GAIA Level 1 tasks against Hermes using a 4-bit Qwen-3.6-35b on an M4 Max 🤯 The results highlight how much the orchestration layer matters: → Atomic Agent: 69.8% solved (3h 12m) → Hermes Agent: 58.5% solved (5h 10m) Atomic solved 6 more tasks and finished nearly two hours faster. The secret? A highly disciplined agent loop that refuses to waste compute. Atomic uses a byte-stable prompt to massively reuse the KV-cache. Instead of dumping raw logs into the context window, it batches tool calls via JSON and compresses the results. Add in a hard stop for endless tool-call loops, and you get a model that stays razor-sharp instead of drowning in its own junk data. Open-source and local-first! Repo below ↓ Video Atomic Agent (@atomicagent_io) Atomic Agent beat Hermes on GAIA: 69.8% vs 58.5%, and it was 1.6x faster! We ran both agents through the full GAIA Level 1 benchmark, 53 real-world tasks, same 4-bit qwen-3.6-35b on the same Apple M4 Max. Results: ✦ Atomic Agent: 37 of 53 solved, done in 3h 12m ✦ Hermes Agent: 31 of 53 solved, took 5h 10m Atomic solved 6 more tasks and finished nearly 2 hours sooner.
