# Dense Slides: Self-Training Agents: Hermes Agent, HF Traces, Skills, MCP & Finetuning  — Merve Noyan, Hugging Face

## Source Video
[Self-Training Agents: Hermes Agent, HF Traces, Skills, MCP & Finetuning  — Merve Noyan, Hugging Face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV56RddyFuU)

## Method
This deck is slide-only. The existing captured video frame set supplies candidate frames, then local OpenCV rejects sponsor/title/speaker-only frames, crops visible slide surfaces, deduplicates, and saves the cropped slide images.

## Cropped Visible Slides

> Why does open-source matter?
> Absolute control over models
> Cost reduction in multipliers
> Further customize, shrink models depending on your needs
> Guaranteed privacy for the end-user, enable on-device/in-browser uses, data doesn’t go to another server
