Model Leaderboard

Model leaderboard for Hermes Desktop: a full /model-leaderboard page that ranks any OpenRouter model for a chosen Hermes profile — context window, prices, Artificial Analysis indices and curated SWE-bench Verified / LiveCodeBench — with per-profile criteria, six score views (cards, table, score bars, histograms, heatmap, quality-vs-cost Pareto frontier), an OpenRouter news feed (new models, price changes, promos) and a documented REST surface under /api/plugins/model-leaderboard/.

Good to know before installing

Outbound HTTPS to OpenRouter's public model API (catalogue and pricing) on a 60 s poll and a forced refresh every 10 minutes while the page is visible, and to Hugging Face's public model API (safetensors metadata, for parameter counts) on demand and cached; reads the installed Hermes profiles' own config.yaml files once, to seed the tracked list from the models those profiles declare; keeps its state in <hermes home>/plugin-data/model-leaderboard/ (seeded from the JSON shipped with the plugin), which LLM_DASH_DATA / LLM_DASH_CACHE_TTL can move or tune; the optional "Auto-fill criteria" action runs on the host LLM facade (ctx.llm.complete_structured), so it spends the user's configured model tokens; ships one read-only skill (model-leaderboard:refresh-benchmarks) whose only write is a POST to its own /benchmarks route; no API keys of its own, no writes outside its data directory.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install model-leaderboard
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable model-leaderboard
  3. 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).
