Run it on your own hardware

Weights are the sizes of the files a source lists, or an estimate from the parameter count where none does. Memory is an estimate: weights plus KV cache plus 512 MiB and 5 percent of the weights for runtime buffers. Check it against your hardware.

Start it with a local runtime

  • vLLM
    vllm serve NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-405B
  • SGLang
    sglang serve --model-path NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-405B --port 30000

Use it from your harness

Set up for Kilo Gateway with the model nousresearch/hermes-3-llama-3.1-405b. Each endpoint page has the same setup for its own address.

OpenCode

Put this in opencode.json in your project folder:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "kilo": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Kilo Gateway",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.kilo.ai/api/gateway",
        "apiKey": "{env:KILO_API_KEY}"
      },
      "models": {
        "nousresearch/hermes-3-llama-3.1-405b": {
          "name": "Hermes 3 405B Instruct",
          "limit": {
            "context": 131072,
            "output": 16384
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • OpenCode reads any OpenAI-compatible address through the @ai-sdk/openai-compatible package, and an address that speaks the Responses API through @ai-sdk/openai.

Pi

Put this in ~/.pi/agent/models.json:

{
  "providers": {
    "kilo": {
      "baseUrl": "https://api.kilo.ai/api/gateway",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "$KILO_API_KEY",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "nousresearch/hermes-3-llama-3.1-405b"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
  • The apiKey field can name an environment variable as $NAME.

Codex

Codex speaks only the Responses API, and Kilo Gateway documents no Responses address. A gateway that offers one can sit in between.

  • Codex speaks the Responses API only: responses is the one supported wire API of a custom provider. Ollama and LM Studio are built in and start with --oss.

From Codex documentation, read .

Claude Code

Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests, and Kilo Gateway documents no such address. A gateway that translates to that API can sit in between.

  • Claude Code sends Anthropic Messages requests to ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Anthropic says it does not support routing Claude Code to models other than Claude through any gateway, so some features may not work with another model.

From Claude Code documentation, read .
