Hermes Experientiallabs
Experiential Labs - OpenAI-compatible multi-model gateway provider (chat, /model picker, aux and curated fallback models, /usage wallet snapshot). All network calls go to api.experientiallabs.ai - /v1 chat + models via Hermes' own transport, /api/v1/credits and /api/v1/key only when /usage runs; no telemetry; credentials resolve through Hermes routes (hermes auth / .env).
Good to know before installing
When you pick Experiential Labs as your model, every prompt, tool result and attachment of that session goes to api.experientiallabs.ai, a third-party gateway that routes to upstream model vendors. /usage sends your key to its Cost API (GET /credits and /key) or to the cost_api_base you set. Independent integration, not affiliated with Experiential Labs.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
EXPLABS_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install hermes-experientiallabs - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-experientiallabs - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
