From 144aac28b9957a81c17bdc6d8cd0c99b86fee7d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank Song Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 07:07:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: note Android AVF ARM64 field report (refs #2364) Add a narrow README note for the community ARM64 Android AVF field report: Hermes Agent + WebUI running inside a Debian 12 VM on a mid-range Android phone with cloud-hosted inference. The note frames the report as a compatibility signal rather than an official support baseline or provider/model benchmark, and records practical mobile caveats around first-install compile time, Android tab reloads, and battery optimization.

The reported setup +used a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G, 3.8 GiB RAM allocated to the VM, 8 visible +CPU cores, Chrome on Android at `localhost:8787`, and cloud-hosted inference. + +This is not an official support baseline or provider/model benchmark, but it is +a useful compatibility signal for mobile ARM64 experiments: the WebUI rendered +smoothly in Chrome, ARM64 Debian worked for the agent stack, and the total local +footprint was about 1.7 GB. Practical caveats from the report: first install can +take longer when dependencies compile from source, Android browser tabs may +reload when switching apps, and disabling battery optimization for the terminal +or VM host may be needed for longer-running sessions. + > **Tip:** If using Docker, set `HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0` in your > `docker-compose.yml` environment (already the default) and set > `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD`.
