DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 + Hermes Agent is INSANE!

The video discusses DeepSeek V4 Flash (0731 build), a new model update that just became available through OpenRouter integration with Hermes Agent. The speaker clarifies that while initially announced for NewsPortal, the platform doesn't allow models trained on user data, so OpenRouter is the correct integration point. DeepSeek V4 Flash represents a major performance leap compared to the older Flash preview version, with superior agentic benchmarks. The model is cheaper than frontier alternatives like Claude Opus while maintaining comparable performance. The 0731 build is specifically a post-training upgrade focused on agent capability, featuring the same parameter size as before but with significantly better training for agent loops and tool calling. The speaker emphasizes that what previously limited agents wasn't Hermes itself, but the underlying model—factors like slow responses, poor tool-calling ability, memory loss over long jobs, and high frontier pricing all affected performance. DeepSeek V4 Flash addresses these through its 1M token context window, agentic-focused training, speed, and affordability. The speaker demonstrates three major use cases: creating AI avatar videos with full editing and voiceover, generating blog posts through multi-agent orchestration, and direct chat-based interactions. The content highlights the importance of building modular systems (Agent OS) rather than depending on specific models, as new models constantly emerge. The speaker promotes AI Profit Boardroom, a community offering the Agent OS, daily video tutorials, 24/7 support, and weekly calls for people building AI agent workflows.
