The runtime attribution
dpanel.ai white-labels the customer control plane, but the runtime lineage matters. The agent runtime is based on a hardened fork of Hermes Agent by Nous Research under MIT terms.
That attribution is not a partnership claim or endorsement. It is a transparency note about the open-source base and the control plane dpanel.ai adds above it.
What dpanel.ai adds
The fork alone is not the product. dpanel.ai adds deployable teams, human approvals, org roles, per-member grounding, strict USER.md policy, channels, usage visibility, and handoff.
This is the difference between an agent runtime and an AI Execution Deployment Panel that operators can manage.
OpenRouter proof points
As checked on 2026-06-30, Nous Research had 18 models listed on OpenRouter. Hermes 4 70B showed about 2.88B tokens, with Hermes 3 and Hermes 4 variants also showing substantial usage.
dpanel.ai links to the OpenRouter Nous Research listing and the OpenRouter App & Agent Rankings page at https://openrouter.ai/apps as public proof surfaces for the runtime family while keeping model/provider choice under the customer deployment path.
Next step
Turn this concept into a visible workflow with teams, approvals, grounding, and handoff.
