@ -915,20 +915,17 @@ For Claude on **native Anthropic**, **OpenRouter**, and **Nous Portal**, Hermes
The Qwen Cloud (Alibaba DashScope) upstream caps cache TTL at 5 minutes, so Hermes uses the 5-minute breakpoint TTL there instead. Other Claude-via-third-party paths (AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry) fall back to the provider's own caching defaults. xAI Grok uses a separate session-pinned conversation-id mechanism — see [xAI prompt caching](/integrations/providers#xai-grok--responses-api--prompt-caching).
Caching is on by default and saves money even on single-turn conversations because the system prompt alone is a meaningful fraction of the input token count. It can be turned off entirely with the `enabled` knob below when a strict provider rejects `cache_control` markers.
No knob exists to disable this — caching is always-on and saves money even on single-turn conversations because the system prompt alone is a meaningful fraction of the input token count.
The explicit knobs are whether caching runs at all and the cache TTL tier Hermes requests on Anthropic-style breakpoints:
The one explicit knob is the cache TTL tier Hermes requests on Anthropic-style breakpoints:
```yaml
prompt_caching:
enabled: true # set false to stop sending cache_control markers entirely
cache_ttl: "5m" # "5m" or "1h" (Anthropic-supported tiers); other values are ignored
```
`cache_ttl` selects the breakpoint TTL Hermes attaches for Claude via the native Anthropic API, OpenRouter, and Nous Portal. Only the two Anthropic-supported tiers (`"5m"`, `"1h"`) are honored — any other value is ignored. Providers with their own caps (e.g. Qwen Cloud, which maxes at 5 minutes) still clamp to what the upstream allows.
`enabled` defaults to `true`. Set it to `false` as an escape hatch for strict Anthropic-compatible proxies that inject their own `cache_control` markers server-side — stacking those on top of Hermes' breakpoints can exceed Anthropic's 4-breakpoint limit and return HTTP 400 `"A maximum of 4 blocks with cache_control may be provided"`. Disabling caching on that setup passes requests through without client-side markers so the proxy manages its own.
## Auxiliary Models
Hermes uses "auxiliary" models for side tasks like image analysis, web page summarization, browser screenshot analysis, session-title generation, and context compression. By default (`auxiliary.*.provider: "auto"`), Hermes routes every auxiliary task to your **main chat model** — the same provider/model you picked in `hermes model`. You don't need to configure anything to get started, but be aware that on expensive reasoning models (Opus, MiniMax M2.7, etc.) auxiliary tasks add meaningful cost. If you want cheap-and-fast side tasks regardless of your main model, set `auxiliary.<task>.provider` and `auxiliary.<task>.model` explicitly (for example, Gemini Flash on OpenRouter for vision and web extraction).
