Provider Flag
Domain: CLI & Commands
Motivation
The —provider flag forces a specific provider (openrouter, anthropic, nous, etc.) for this session. It is used together with —model when you want exact control.
Concrete Example
You run hermes chat —provider openai -m gpt-4o. This session uses OpenAI GPT-4o, regardless of your default.
Analogy
Like choosing a specific courier company for one delivery, instead of your usual.
