Customers can connect their own NVIDIA API keys to access Nemotron, with automated routing to ensure agent availability. This makes NVIDIA the fifth bring-your-own-key provider on the platform, alongside Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and DeepSeek.\n\nThe addition of Hermes runtime gives users an alternative to OpenClaw, allowing them to choose between the two when configuring agents. Both runtimes operate on QwikAgents’ managed infrastructure, including hosting, memory, and compute. Silo Pharma’s CEO, Eric Weisblum, emphasized flexibility, stating that customers should have the freedom to select technologies that best fit their needs rather than being locked into a single provider. The new capabilities are available immediately.","keyPoints":["QwikAgents now supports NVIDIA Nemotron models via customer-supplied API keys with automated routing","Hermes agent runtime added as an alternative to OpenClaw for agent configuration flexibility","NVIDIA becomes the fifth bring-your-own-key provider on QwikAgents’ platform"],"whyItMatters":"This expands options for AI agent developers, allowing them to mix models and runtimes without vendor lock-in, accelerating innovation in workflow automation and research tools.","category":{"slug":"agents","name":"Agents & Tools","url":"https://digestai.news/category/agents"},"entities":{"companies":["Silo Pharma","QwikAgents","NVIDIA","Anthropic","OpenAI","Google"],"models":["Nemotron","Hermes"],"people":["Eric Weisblum"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-30T07:08:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-30T07:08:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"biospace.com","title":"Silo Pharma’s QwikAgents Expands AI Agent Platform with NVIDIA Model Support and New Runtime Flexibility","url":"https://biospace.com/press-releases/silo-pharmas-qwikagents-expands-ai-agent-platform-with-nvidia-model-support-and-new-runtime-flexibility","publishedAt":"2026-09-30T07:08:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"QwikAgents adds NVIDIA Nemotron models and Hermes runtime to its platform\", 30 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/qwikagents-adds-nvidia-nemotron-models-and-hermes-runtime-to-its-platf","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"QwikAgents adds NVIDIA Nemotron models and Hermes runtime to its platform","datePublished":"2026-09-30T07:08:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/qwikagents-adds-nvidia-nemotron-models-and-hermes-runtime-to-its-platf"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
