Gemma 4 12B + Hermes Agent: Build Your Own AI Assistant

In this video I use Claude Code to set up Hermes Agent on a 16GB Mac Mini and plug it into a local Gemma 4 12B model, so the whole thing runs 24/7 with no API bills. I let Claude do everything from the terminal: changing the Mac's settings to stay always-on, installing and wiring up the agent, and connecting it to 3rd Party Tools so the agent actually does real work.

I'm starting a blog to document all my AI adventures. I only make Youtube videos about 10% of the stuff that I do, learn, or experiment with.
