Through AI Gateway, users can access 200+ models at no token markup, with all requests visible in the AI Gateway dashboard. The Vercel Sandbox backend is opt-in and runs agent commands in cloud microVMs supporting node24, node22, and python3.13 runtimes. Setup involves installing Hermes and selecting the desired backends via the setup wizard or `hermes setup` commands. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I configure Hermes Agent to use Vercel AI Gateway for model inference? Install Hermes via the install script, then in the setup wizard pick Vercel AI Gateway and paste your API key. Existing users run hermes update, then hermes setup model to switch to Vercel AI Gateway. The picker shows live model availability and current pricing, giving access to over 200 models at no markup on tokens. _daily.dev surfaces setup changes like this for developers wiring coding agents into new inference providers._ ### What runtimes does Vercel Sandbox support for running Hermes agent commands? Vercel Sandbox supports node24 as the default runtime, plus node22 and python3.13. When enabled via terminal.backend set to vercel_sandbox, agent commands run in a cloud microVM with a workspace root of /vercel/sandbox instead of executing locally on the developer's machine. _Developers isolating agent command execution can track sandbox runtime support through daily.dev._ ### How do I get a development token to test Vercel Sandbox locally? Use VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN for local development authentication. Run vercel link followed by vercel env pull to retrieve a development token for accessing Vercel Sandbox during local testing. _daily.dev helps developers configuring cloud sandbox authentication stay on top of tooling changes._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Vercel Releases Open Agents to Support Background AI Coding Workflows](https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-releases-open-agents-to-support-background-ai-coding-workflows-rqcak8vwn) · InfoQ · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [The Agent Stack](https://daily.dev/posts/the-agent-stack-wxlfawjmb) · Vercel · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to Use Kilo Gateway with Hermes](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-use-kilo-gateway-with-hermes-mhjkcexti) · Kilo Blog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#vercel](https://daily.dev/tags/vercel), [#ai-gateway](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-gateway) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-ai-gateway-and-vercel-sandbox-now-available-on-hermes-agent-rq9ztv9je) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Vercel AI Gateway and Vercel Sandbox now available on Hermes Agent","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-ai-gateway-and-vercel-sandbox-now-available-on-hermes-agent-rq9ztv9je","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-ai-gateway-and-vercel-sandbox-now-available-on-hermes-agent-rq9ztv9je"},"datePublished":"2026-08-08T00:08:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T19:55:57.867Z","description":"Hermes Agent, the NousResearch coding agent, now integrates with Vercel AI Gateway for model inference and Vercel Sandbox for isolated command execution....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b6a385f808b42274c743e269e8abebba?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b6a385f808b42274c743e269e8abebba?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Vercel","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Vercel","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/04cca7235cf84db092f24b7ba427b3e1","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/vercel"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-ai-gateway-and-vercel-sandbox-now-available-on-hermes-agent-rq9ztv9je","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"llm,ai-agents,vercel,ai-gateway","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Vercel","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/vercel"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Vercel AI Gateway and Vercel Sandbox now available on Hermes Agent"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/vercel-ai-gateway-and-vercel-sandbox-now-available-on-hermes-agent-rq9ztv9je#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I configure Hermes Agent to use Vercel AI Gateway for model inference?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Install Hermes via the install script, then in the setup wizard pick Vercel AI Gateway and paste your API key.
