FAQPage Schema
How do I configure a custom vision backend for Hermes Agent?

To configure a custom vision backend for Hermes Agent, you set up vision model mappings to route requests to specific providers. This involves modifying the backend configuration to integrate your chosen vision API.

How do I resolve base64 image issues when using vision APIs like MiniMax?

Resolving base64 image issues requires configuring a custom vision backend for Hermes Agent. This setup handles the base64 encoding limitations of APIs like MiniMax by enabling alternative image processing methods.

Can I use remote image URLs instead of base64 for vision API integration?

Yes, you can use remote image URLs for vision API integration. By implementing OSS integration within the custom vision backend, Hermes Agent can process images hosted remotely instead of sending base64 payloads.

Does Hermes Agent support dedicated VLM endpoints for vision processing?

Yes, Hermes Agent supports dedicated VLM endpoints for vision processing. Configuring the custom vision backend allows you to route image processing requests directly to these specialized VLM endpoints.

How do I map different vision models to specific providers in Hermes Agent?

You map vision models to specific providers by adjusting the vision model mappings during backend configuration. This directs Hermes Agent to send image processing requests to the correct API endpoint.

When should I configure a custom vision backend instead of using the default?

You should configure a custom vision backend when your target API does not support base64 encoded images, or when you need to integrate specific remote image URLs, VLM endpoints, or custom vision model mappings.
