Lightningai
Lightning AI as a Hermes model provider (--provider lightning, lightning-ai, lightningai): OpenAI-compatible gateway at https://lightning.ai/api/v1, models fetched live from /models.
Good to know before installing
Registers one model provider at import and nothing else (no tools, hooks, commands or threads); chat requests and the model list go to lightning.ai through Hermes' own client with LIGHTNING_API_KEY (or LIGHTNING_AI_API_KEY), optional LIGHTNING_BASE_URL overrides the endpoint; the plugin itself opens no connections, reads/writes no files and starts no processes.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
LIGHTNING_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install lightningai - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable lightningai - 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).
