Feature Description

Requesting support for openai/gpt-5.5 as a fallback LLM provider in Hermes Agent.

Motivation

Currently, Hermes Agent supports a variety of LLM providers, but there is no built-in support for openai/gpt-5.5 as a fallback option. Adding this would allow users to seamlessly switch to OpenAI's GPT-5.5 model when their primary provider is unavailable or when they need specific capabilities offered by that model.

Proposed Solution

  • Add openai/gpt-5.5 to the list of supported fallback providers.
  • Ensure proper API key handling and configuration for OpenAI endpoints.
  • Document the new fallback option in the provider configuration docs.

Alternatives Considered

  • Manually overriding the provider via environment variables, but this is not as clean as a native fallback mechanism.

Additional Context

This would improve resilience and flexibility for users who want to leverage OpenAI's latest models as a backup.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add openai/gpt-5.5 to the list of supported fallback providers in Hermes Agent to enable seamless switching to OpenAI's GPT-5.5 model.

Guidance

  • Review the current list of supported fallback providers in Hermes Agent and verify that openai/gpt-5.5 is not already included.
  • Ensure proper API key handling and configuration for OpenAI endpoints to avoid authentication issues.
  • Update the provider configuration documentation to include the new fallback option for openai/gpt-5.5.
  • Test the new fallback mechanism with openai/gpt-5.5 to ensure it works as expected.

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the Hermes Agent architecture supports adding new fallback providers without significant modifications.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by adding openai/gpt-5.5 as a fallback provider, as this will improve resilience and flexibility for users who want to leverage OpenAI's latest models as a backup.
