Hermes-agent -- What is this message about?

I recently tested Hermes Agent using gemma4:26b and I am incredibly impressed with the results; specifically, its ability to handle autonomous coding tasks with minimal prompting.

That said, I am encountering a recurring message:

>"Reasoning-only response looks like implicit context pressure — attempting compression"

I am confused as to why this is occurring given my hardware configuration. I have 32GB of VRAM (2x16GB), and `nvtop` shows only ~23GB in use. Additionally, the Ollama runner is only consuming 3.5GB of system RAM.

Why would the system report "context pressure" when there is clearly available VRAM?
