Model Switch: All Profiles → baidu/cobuddy:free [DEPRECATED]
⚠️ This skill is deprecated. Cobuddy routing was stripped 2026-05-18. Chief now uses deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:free via OpenRouter as the sole model. The root config's model_routing section with cobuddy overrides was removed during system hardening.
Historical Record
Switched all 4 Hermes profiles from various models to baidu/cobuddy:free on OpenRouter.
Before → After
| Profile | Previous Model | New Model |
|---|
| chief | openrouter/owl-alpha | baidu/cobuddy:free |
| forge | deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash | baidu/cobuddy:free |
| intel | inclusionai/ring-2.6-1t | baidu/cobuddy:free |
| pulse | deepseek-v4-pro | baidu/cobuddy:free |
Config Change
File: /.hermes/config.yaml
default_tier_1: inclusionai/ring-2.6-1t → baidu/cobuddy:free- All
profile_overrides primaries → baidu/cobuddy:free
Rationale
CoBuddy is a Baidu code-gen model optimized for agent workflows with high inference throughput and low latency. Free tier on OpenRouter provides cost-effective coverage across all profiles while maintaining quality.
