Open Source just got a boost

I have been fairly straightforward about my views on open source and sovereignty. My list of grievances with big tech and their impact on our lives is well documented, if not personal. It's rare to see the little guy win.

A few months back I made a choice to dive headlong into Nous Research's Hermes Agent. I am rolling out a company brain working with our management and have had some concerns about my choice. We operate in that big tech environment, and I personally get to pay the bill every month. It's hundreds of thousands of dollars. So when a company operating in a space filled with gorillas produces a product I can scale my business with using free markdown files and folders with a few hundred dollars in token credits, I get excited.

Today Nous announced another round of investment and is going to get the recognition it deserves. Placement into our economy's underlying tech infrastructure is no small feat, and I'm excited to see that, at least for now, a couple of hackers in a coffee shop can still succeed.
