Safe AI Labs as a Hermes model provider (`--provider safeailabs`, or Safe AI Labs in `hermes model`): an OpenAI-compatible API with one endpoint per region, the model list from its /v1/models and the context window of its fallback model declared.

## 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 https://us.api.safeailabs.ai/v1 (or SAFE_AI_BASE_URL) through Hermes' own client with SAFE_AI_KEY, which Hermes reads; the plugin itself opens no connections, reads and writes no files and starts no processes.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `SAFE_AI_KEY`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install safeailabs-provider
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable safeailabs-provider
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
