# NousResearch/hermes-agent · llama.cpp alias fallback routing fixes

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items address incorrect routing behavior when falling back to llama.cpp aliases, including a bug where the alias was sent to an unrelated cloud provider and a fix to resolve aliases to the correct local managed endpoint. A related item salvages a previous attempt to make Desktop-managed llama.cpp fallback work rather than error.
