Here are the highlights
- Directly Grok subscription, X Premium (and Premium+) users who have Grok subs can now plug that into Hermes
- x_search tool is live which allows Hermes (with Grok models) to natively search X just like when you’re prompting SuperGrok to do research on X
This is massive because X is the town square for macro, geopolitics, tech, AI, and crypto news, articles, and media.
In order to get the insights, before you would need to use X API to fetch accounts, content, and data. While the X API is decent, you can’t really do deep research on it like you would with SuperGrok on X. The research capability for Hermes was quite limited.
But now, Hermes can use x_search natively. Hermes can output better research report + reduce X API credit cost + able to analyze X articles (which wasn’t possible before with X API).
## How I’m adjusting my workflow
If you remember from my previous Hermes articles, I run Hermes as an data/investment analyst that has all my investment theses, preference, portfolio holdings. He delivers briefs every morning on macro, geopolitics, tech, AI, crypto, and more so I can stay on top of things. He learns from all the reports that he delivers. He’s like my second brain + analyst all in one.
There were couple of challenges I had with my workflows and these new updates help fix them
1. X bookmark cron job
Hermes uses X API to fetch for last 24 hrs bookmark (it dedups anything I’ve already seen and only shows fresh ones).
I often bookmark articles but X API can’t read X article content, it can only read the headline, the author, and a few lines (for some reasons).
With x_search, I can just say “summarize with x_search” and drop an X article. I don’t have to switch the model to Grok 4.3 first because the x_search tool automatically default to Grok 4.3 already.
x_search fetches X article -> my base model DeepSeek-v4-flash analyzes and summarizes the content
Make sure you set up the xai-oauth + configure x_search first before testing it out.
“xai-oauth” part is very essential here because if you put xai, it’ll go towards xai API instead of the Grok subscription.
^Before you do this, make sure to sign up for a Grok subscription and authenticate it first with “hermes model” command in the terminal (if you have X Premium or Premium+ you can login to Grok and authenticate with that as well)
2. Deep Research Pipeline
With x_search, deep research leveraging rich X data is easier than ever. I’ve worked/brainstormed with Claude Opus 4.7 and it came up with a 6-stage research pipeline.
The reason why I did this is because x_search doesn’t produce high quality result comparable to using SuperGrok directly on X or on Grok(.)com. The because the web interface has more optimized post-processing, fresher context, and better prompt engineering behind the scenes. The agent x_search tool is more raw.

The 6-stage research pipeline uses
- x_search to perform targeted search
- @cookiedotfun MCP tool great for sentiment trend/analysis, KOL discussions
- browser CDP which is Hermes native browser tool (let Hermes open up Grok manually on Chrome and prompt it directly on SuperGrok)
DeepSeek synthesizes everything while Hindsight recall/reflect to draw past insights and cross-reference it with the new synthesized information


The result is end-to-end comprehensive report that captures the past, the present, the future taken into account our knowledge base/our context.
The prompt was “Deep dive on geopolitics, macro, and their impact on stock market and crypto - focus on current state of things and forward looking things that could happen and what to watch out for in the next 2 weeks”
Key thing to note: I’ve tried running this end-to-end research workflow with Grok 4.3 and the result is beyond horrible. Grok 4.3 kept failing with browser harness, it’s bad with AI agent tools, it kept asking at every single turn instead of actually doing the job. Better stick to DeepSeek v4.
3. X Tracker workflow
One of my main category of cron jobs is tracking smart X accounts who regularly publish great insights in their own field every single day. I’m tracking about 7-8 people now.
Previously, I used X API to fetch their content and DeepSeek analyzes, synthesizes, and prioritizes them based on my preference. It costs about ~$0.5 per day across all cron jobs (not too bad).
With x_search feature live, I switched X API for x_search feature and pretty much saved up on the $0.5 per day. It only costs about $0.1 per day now since I’m only using it for X bookmark cron job.
## What I learnt so far
You can get Grok subscription for $10/month instead of $30/month
I bought Grok subscription for $30/month before xai announced that X Premium users can use their Grok subscription with Hermes (sucks for me).
Anyway, there’s a strategy you can explore to only pay $10/month instead of $30.
First, get Grok subscription for $30/month -> cancel -> you’ll get offered 3 months for only $30/month (pay $0.30 more for 3 months of sub)
xai is pretty generous rn.
Configure x_search first before you use it
Once you have Grok subscription
- Go to “hermes tools” and “tools for CLI” and turn on x_search
- Go to config.yaml and set x_search timeout to 240 or 300 seconds to prevent x_search tool timing out (it timeout and me many times, i switched to 300 and everything worked fine)
“x_search:
timeout_seconds: 240 # or 300
retries: 2
model: grok-4.3”
Don’t use Grok 4.3 as a default model, it’s very bad
It sucks
- browser harness
- reasoning/summarizing/connecting dots together
- multi-turn agent tool calling & execution

Screenshot of me trying to get Grok 4.3 to complete the research pipeline (he kept crashing on me so I had to switch back to DeepSeek)
Better stick to your favorite open models.
Since x_search tool defaults to Grok-4.3 with Grok subscription already, there’s no need to switch to Grok-4.3 as the base model for your Hermes
x_search + Cookie MCP is a great combination
Cookie is great at getting structured data that’s immediately usable — KOL leaderboards, mindshare timeseries, social decay metrics. It’s also great at project analytics.
But it’s weak at getting real-time news, explaining the “why”, and search reliability which is where x_search comes in very handy.
## Wrapping it up
After almost 2 months of using Hermes, I found myself slowly moving from relying on Hermes to think & execute to identifying problems & setting up hypothesis and testing that hypothesis with the agent.
AI as a learning augment really helps me get up to speed on how things work, what tools are great for what purposes, and more importantly how to get the desired outcome while I continue to learn, make money from our strats, and not spend hundreds or thousands in inference costs.
With the new research capability, I'm a lot more excited to continue learning with Hermes than ever.
Anyway, that’s it for today. If you enjoy this piece and want to learn more about the tools I use, do check out this page HERE. New tools update coming every week.
Thanks for reading and see you guys in the next one!

@NousResearch 刚刚与 @xai 建立了合作关系,Hermes 的研究能力得到了巨大的提升。
> **Nous Research@NousResearch**: [原文链接](https://x.com/NousResearch/status/2055748546679472322)

> xAI 已在 Hermes Agent 中向 X Premium+ 订阅用户扩大了访问权限。

以下是本次更新的亮点
- 直接对接 Grok 订阅,X Premium(以及 Premium+)用户如果订阅了 Grok,现在可以将其连接到 Hermes 中。
- x_search 工具已上线,它允许 Hermes(使用 Grok 模型)像在 X 上提示 SuperGrok 进行研究一样,原生搜索 X 的内容。
这点非常重要,因为 X 是宏观经济、地缘政治、科技、AI 和加密新闻、文章及媒体的“城镇广场”。
为了获取这些见解,以前你需要使用 X API 来抓取账户、内容和数据。虽然 X API 不错,但你很难像使用 X 上的 SuperGrok 那样在上面进行深入研究。此前 Hermes 的研究能力相当有限。
但现在,Hermes 可以原生使用 x_search。Hermes 可以输出更好的研究报告 + 减少 X API 积分消耗 + 能够分析 X 文章(这是以前使用 X API 无法做到的)。
## 我如何调整我的工作流程
如果你记得我以前关于 Hermes 的文章,我运行 Hermes 作为一个数据/投资分析师,它拥有我所有的投资论点、偏好和投资组合持仓。他每天早上都会发送关于宏观经济、地缘政治、科技、AI、加密货币等方面的简报,以便我掌握最新动态。他从他交付的所有报告中学习。他就像我的第二大脑 + 分析师合二为一。
以前我的工作流程中存在一些挑战,而这些新更新帮助解决了它们:
1. X 收藏定时任务
Hermes 使用 X API 获取过去 24 小时的收藏(它会对我已经看过的内容进行去重,只显示新鲜的内容)。
我经常收藏文章,但 X API 无法阅读 X 文章的内容,它只能阅读标题、作者和几行文字(出于某些原因)。
有了 x_search,我只需说“用 x_search 总结”并丢进一篇 X 文章即可。我不必先将模型切换到 Grok 4.3,因为 x_search 工具已经自动默认为 Grok 4.3。
x_search 获取 X 文章 -> 我的基础模型 DeepSeek-v4-flash 分析并总结内容
在测试之前,请确保你先设置好了 xai-oauth 并配置了 x_search。
“xai-oauth”部分在这里非常关键,因为如果你只填 xai,它会指向 xai API 而不是 Grok 订阅。
^在执行此操作之前,请确保已注册 Grok 订阅,并首先在终端中使用“hermes model”命令进行身份验证(如果你有 X Premium 或 Premium+,你也可以登录 Grok 并通过该方式进行验证)。
2. 深度研究管道
有了 x_search,利用丰富的 X 数据进行深度研究比以往任何时候都更容易。我与 Claude Opus 4.7 一起工作/头脑风暴,设计了一个 6 阶段的研究管道。
我这样做的原因是,x_search 产生的结果质量无法与直接在 X 或 Grok(.)com 上使用 SuperGrok 相媲美。这是因为 Web 界面有更优化的后处理、更实时的上下文以及幕后更好的提示工程。Agent 的 x_search 工具则更加原始。

这个 6 阶段研究管道使用了
- x_search 进行定向搜索
- @cookiedotfun MCP 工具,非常适合情绪趋势/分析和 KOL 讨论
- 浏览器 CDP,这是 Hermes 的原生浏览器工具(让 Hermes 在 Chrome 上手动打开 Grok 并直接在 SuperGrok 上提示它)
DeepSeek 综合所有信息,同时 Hindsight 回忆/反思以获取过去的见解,并将其与新综合的信息进行交叉引用。


结果是一份端到端的综合报告,它结合了我们的知识库/上下文,捕捉了过去、现在和未来。
提示词是“深入研究地缘政治、宏观经济及其对股市和加密货币的影响——重点关注当前状况、未来可能发生的事情以及未来两周需要关注的事项”
需要注意的关键点:我尝试用 Grok 4.3 运行这个端到端的研究工作流程,结果非常糟糕。Grok 4.3 在浏览器工具方面一直失败,它不擅长使用 AI agent 工具,它每一步都在询问,而不是真正地工作。最好还是坚持使用 DeepSeek v4。
3. X 追踪工作流程
我的定时任务主要类别之一是追踪那些每天都在各自领域定期发布精彩见解的聪明 X 账号。我现在大约追踪 7-8 个人。
以前,我使用 X API 获取他们的内容,DeepSeek 根据我的偏好进行分析、综合和优先排序。所有的定时任务每天大约花费 ~$0.5(还不算太糟)。
随着 x_search 功能上线,我将 X API 切换到了 x_search 功能,基本上每天省下了那 $0.5。现在每天只需花费约 $0.1,因为我只用它来处理 X 收藏定时任务。
## 我目前的经验总结
你可以每月 $10 而不是 $30 获得 Grok 订阅
在 xai 宣布 X Premium 用户可以将他们的 Grok 订阅用于 Hermes 之前,我以每月 $30 的价格购买了 Grok 订阅(对我来说太亏了)。
无论如何,有一个策略可以让你探索,只需每月支付 $10 而不是 $30。
首先,以 $30/月的价格购买 Grok 订阅 -> 取消 -> 你会获得仅以 $30/月使用 3 个月的报价(多付 $0.30 获得 3 个月的订阅)
xai 目前相当慷慨。
在使用 x_search 之前先配置它
一旦你有了 Grok 订阅
- 进入“hermes tools”和“tools for CLI”并开启 x_search
- 进入 config.yaml 并将 x_search 超时时间设置为 240 或 300 秒,以防止 x_search 工具超时(它超时了很多次,我切换到 300 后一切正常)
“x_search:
timeout_seconds: 240 # 或者 300
retries: 2
model: grok-4.3”
不要将 Grok 4.3 作为默认模型,它非常差劲
它很烂
- 浏览器工具
- 推理/总结/串联信息
- 多轮 Agent 工具调用和执行

我试图让 Grok 4.3 完成研究管道的截图(他一直崩溃,所以我不得不切回 DeepSeek)
最好还是坚持使用你最喜欢的开放模型。
由于 x_search 工具在订阅 Grok 后已经默认使用 Grok-4.3,因此没有必要将 Hermes 的基础模型切换到 Grok-4.3。
x_search + Cookie MCP 是绝佳组合
Cookie 非常擅长获取立即可用的结构化数据——KOL 排行榜、心智占有率时间序列、社交衰退指标。它也非常擅长项目分析。
但它在获取实时新闻、解释“原因”以及搜索可靠性方面较弱,而这正是 x_search 非常有用之处。
## 总结
在使用 Hermes 将近两个月后,我发现自己慢慢从依赖 Hermes 进行思考和执行,转变为识别问题、建立假设,并用 Agent 测试这些假设。
AI 作为学习增强工具,真的帮助我快速了解事物的运作方式、哪些工具适合什么目的,更重要的是,如何在继续学习、从我们的策略中赚钱的同时,获得预期的结果,而不花费数百或数千美元的推理成本。
有了新的研究能力,我比以往任何时候都更兴奋能继续与 Hermes 一起学习。
无论如何,今天的内容就到这里。如果你喜欢这篇文章并想了解更多我使用的工具,请务必查看这里的页面 HERE。新工具更新每周都有。
感谢阅读,我们下期再见!
