An introduction to a public benchmark project for xAI Grok models, focusing on Hermes Agent workloads, providing real-time pricing, inference token, and tool usage compatibility comparisons.
Section 01
Hermes-Grok-Bench is an open benchmark project targeting the xAI Grok series models, focusing on Hermes Agent workload scenarios. It provides multi-dimensional comparison data such as real-time pricing, inference token efficiency, and tool usage compatibility, helping developers and enterprises make objective Agent application selection decisions amid the rapid iteration of Grok models.
Section 02
As the xAI Grok series models iterate rapidly from 2025 to 2026, official benchmarks focus on general capabilities and lack systematic evaluation data for Agent workloads. Hermes-Grok-Bench emerged as an open "dogfooding" benchmark to continuously evaluate the performance of Grok models under Hermes Agent workloads.
Hermes is an open-source AI Agent development framework with capabilities for tool usage, multi-step reasoning, state management, and human-machine collaboration. Its workload characteristics include high-frequency tool calls, long context dependencies, structured output requirements, and fault tolerance, placing special demands on models.

Section 04
The benchmark covers Grok-2, Grok-2-mini, and the released Grok-3 series models.
Weekly updates of matrix data including performance (tool call accuracy, reasoning scores, etc.), cost (token prices, average task cost), and inference efficiency (average inference tokens, etc.).

Section 07
Hermes-Grok-Bench is a practical and timely benchmark project. Amid the rapid iteration of Grok models, it provides developers with objective and actionable selection references. Its cost-effectiveness analysis is a key factor in production environment decisions, and its open-source nature allows the community to jointly improve it, making it a practical tool for developers.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
This project explores how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect logical vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts, especially business logic flaws that are difficult for traditional static analysis tools to capture, such as economic manipulation and execution order errors.
This article introduces an open-source project for building modern large language models from scratch. The project evolves from a GPT-2-style basic architecture to a Llama 2/3-style production-level implementation, covering complete tutorial implementations of key technologies such as RMSNorm, RoPE, SwiGLU, GQA, and MoE.
