Key takeaways

Migrate to Hermes 0.070 if you run scheduled cron jobs, because Open Claw leaves them behind and the host lost their entire runtime by deleting it 'hastily'.
Move every API key and password into the new Hermes credential pool before the next push, since Open Claw stored them inside skill files that were trivially extractable from GitHub.
Use Camel Fox for flight price tracking and Amazon/competitor scraping, but skip it for X/Twitter because the platform's anti-bot detection is described as 'way out there'.
Flush the agent's memory state when you finish a project, because both Hermes and Open Claw resurface 'old memories' from weeks ago if you don't reset them.
Skip the $20 Cloud Code plan for non-trivial multi-step work — one trip-planning session consumed 30–40% of the credits — and only consider it on the $200 Max tier.
Test Xiaomi's MiMo and MiniMax models through the Hermes portal instead of defaulting to Anthropic, since the Chinese models are 'benching very very strong' at a 'drastic cost reduction'.
Treat both agents as insecure by default and re-audit after every gateway update, because 'everything needs security hardening' regardless of which platform you pick.

Companion notes

Hermes 0.070 ships pluggable memory, a proper credential vault, and a stealth browser — and the team is migrating off Open Claw because of it.

What changed in 0.070

The update lands four concrete upgrades. A pluggable memory system lets you swap in different memory providers and flush stale state — the host calls it the fix for agents that "go up and oh, where's my car? I don't have a car" because old context resurfaces. A new credential pool replaces the Open Claw habit of storing passwords inside the skill file itself, which the host says made it "very easy to extract passwords" if you ever pushed to GitHub.

Camel Fox for anti-bot browsing

Camel Fox is a browser that "pretends to be a human browsing," built to defeat anti-bot detection on sites like Amazon, airline pricing pages, and competitor shops. The host is explicit that it does not reliably work on X/Twitter — "Twitter's anti-bot detection is just way out there" — but it does help on flights and retail scraping, where bot traffic gets deprioritized or shown inflated prices.

Hardening and stability

The gateway got an approval/deny rework and crash fixes — including a bug in the Stark setup where the agent would "compress and then die" mid-task. Security is still not done: the host warns "just because you're on Hermes doesn't mean you're not going to be super secure."

Cost context and partners

Hermes is now officially partnering with Xiaomi and MiniMax, and the host points to Wild Bench-style results where GLM 5 and Miho V Pro are "benching very very strong" with "drastic cost reduction." That pricing gap is the reason: on Cloud Code, the $20 plan burned 30–40% of credits on a single trip-planning task, pushing serious users to the $200 Max tier. Hermes and Open Claw are framed as "for the rest of us" who have day jobs.

Why they're switching

The team is running both agents in parallel and will publish a migration guide. The deciding factor: Hermes' self-improving skills beat Open Claw's media-creation tools for their workflow, even though Open Claw's new dream and wiki features are real wins.
