Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#11555: GLM-5.2 exposes a native reasoning_effort knob with two enabled levels (high / max) on its OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Previously the zai profile (direct Z.AI /api/paas/v4) used the base ProviderProfile and emitted nothing, and the OpenCode Go profile only handled Kimi K2 / DeepSeek — so a user's effort preference for GLM-5.2 was silently dropped on both routes. - zai: ZaiProfile maps effort onto high/max (xhigh/max -> max, lower -> high) - opencode-go: same mapping for GLM-5.2, alongside existing Kimi/DeepSeek - alias spellings recognized (glm-5.2 / glm-5-2 / glm-5p2, vendor-prefixed) - disabled / no effort leaves the server default untouched
Model Provider Plugins
Each subdirectory is a self-contained provider profile plugin. The
directory layout mirrors plugins/platforms/:
plugins/model-providers/
├── openrouter/
│ ├── __init__.py # registers the ProviderProfile
│ └── plugin.yaml # manifest: name, kind, version, description
├── anthropic/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── plugin.yaml
└── ...
How discovery works
providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() scans this directory (and
$HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/) the first time anything calls
get_provider_profile() or list_providers(). Each __init__.py is
imported and expected to call providers.register_provider(profile).
User plugins at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ override
bundled plugins of the same name — last-writer-wins in
register_provider(). Drop a file there to replace a built-in.
Adding a new provider
-
Create
plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/__init__.py:from providers import register_provider from providers.base import ProviderProfile my_provider = ProviderProfile( name="your-provider", aliases=("alias1", "alias2"), display_name="Your Provider", description="One-line description shown in the setup picker", signup_url="https://your-provider.example.com/keys", env_vars=("YOUR_PROVIDER_API_KEY", "YOUR_PROVIDER_BASE_URL"), base_url="https://api.your-provider.example.com/v1", default_aux_model="your-cheap-model", ) register_provider(my_provider) -
Create
plugins/model-providers/<your_provider>/plugin.yaml:name: your-provider-profile kind: model-provider version: 1.0.0 description: Short sentence about the provider author: Your Name
Nothing else needs to change. auth.py, config.py, models.py,
doctor.py, model_metadata.py, runtime_provider.py, and the
chat_completions transport all auto-wire from the registry.
Non-trivial profiles
Override the ProviderProfile hooks in a subclass for per-provider
quirks — see plugins/model-providers/openrouter/__init__.py for
build_extra_body and build_api_kwargs_extras examples, and
plugins/model-providers/gemini/__init__.py for thinking_config
translation.
