# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Featured model filter misclassifies user-defined providers

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug where \`_apply_featured()\` incorrectly treats user-defined providers as routing aggregators, causing their models to be hidden in the desktop picker by default. The accompanying fixes gate the featured models shortlist on an aggregator flag rather than model-id naming conventions.
