hermes model is interactive only — there’s no set subcommand and no --global flag. It only takes auth/portal flags (--portal-url, --no-browser, etc.) and then drops you into the picker (hermes_cli/main.py:9161-9201).

Two options:

Run the picker:
```
hermes model
```
Set it non-interactively via config set (hermes_cli/main.py:10108-10112):
```
hermes config set model anthropic/claude-opus-4.7
```

There’s no --global switch anywhere in the parser — hermes config set writes to the single user config (hermes config path shows where). If you want to scope it per-project, you’d have to manage that with env/working dir, not a CLI flag.
