​
Configure MiniMax Token Plan

Hermes Agent has built-in support for MiniMax as a provider. Run the model selector: 
hermes model
  1. Select “MiniMax (global endpoint)” from the provider list.
Select MiniMax (global endpoint)
  1. When prompted, enter your Subscription Key obtained from the MiniMax Token Plan page.
Enter MiniMax API Key
  1. Select MiniMax-M3 as the model.
Don’t have resources yet? View your Subscription Key on the Token Plan page, then buy a Token Plan subscription or Credits, or use resources assigned by your Team. Subscription Keys are different from pay-as-you-go API Keys.

​
Start Using Hermes Agent

Run hermes to start talking with Hermes Agent powered by the latest MiniMax M-series models.
Hermes Agent’s persistent memory and self-improving skills system means it gets better the more you use it — your coding patterns, project context, and preferences are remembered across sessions automatically.
