Hermes Agent + Qwen 2 Questions

Can I use Qwen 2 Image in Hermes Agent?

Yes. Hermes Agent supports custom providers. Add RunAPI with your RunAPI API key, then call the Qwen 2 Image endpoint shown on this page.

How does Hermes Agent choose between generation and editing?

Send a text prompt alone to generate a new image, or include a source image with editing instructions to modify it. Each request goes to the matching Qwen 2 endpoint.

How well does Qwen 2 Image handle Chinese prompts?

Qwen 2 Image understands Chinese prompts natively, so they do not need to be translated to English first. This makes it a good fit for Chinese text or bilingual content.

Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
