Ppq
PayPerQ (ppq.ai) OpenAI-compatible model provider for Hermes — per-response cost estimation from ppq's published rate card, chat model discovery from GET /v1/models, automatic per-request Zero Data Retention opt-in, and a 3-layer picker pin strategy (user-local pins file → live top chat models from ppq's public stats dashboard → generic static fallback; generic installs never get the author's personal pins).
Good to know before installing
Model provider; PPQ_API_KEY and all prompts, tool schemas and responses go to ppq.ai (PayPerQ; terms https://ppq.ai/terms, contact matt@ppq.ai), a relay that routes requests to third-party inference partners, some outside the user's jurisdiction, and frontier providers still see prompts; usage is billed per request from the user's prepaid PayPerQ balance (funded by card or cryptocurrency on ppq.ai; the plugin itself makes no payments). Privacy protections are opt-in per request: for models badged privacyLevel 'zdr' the plugin automatically sends provider={"zdr": true, "data_collection": "deny"} so requests route only to endpoints with a Zero Data Retention policy that do not collect data (the zdr model set refreshes hourly from an unauthenticated GET /v1/models with a pinned fallback); models badged 'e2e' run inside TEE enclaves with no opt-in flag needed — enclave coverage applies to chat by default, not to image/video/audio, and true end-to-end encryption is only available via the optional local ppq-privacy-verifier proxy. Building the model picker, for any provider, starts a background unauthenticated POST to stats.ppq.ai at most hourly to fetch the top chat models; cost estimat

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs
PPQ_API_KEY), then asks whether to turn it on.hermes plugins install ppq - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable ppq - 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).
