About

The Hermes family of Large Language Models (LLMs), crafted by Nous Research, is based on Meta's Llama 3.1 framework. These models are noted for their high level of steerability and customization, setting them apart from many proprietary counterparts. Available in model sizes ranging from 8 billion to 405 billion parameters, the Hermes LLMs possess advanced agentic capabilities, impressive role-playing skills, and enhanced reasoning and creativity. The latest iteration, Hermes 3, stands out for its unique behavior, sometimes showing "existential crises" during certain interactions. This feature highlights the intricate nature of modern AI models as they scale. As open-source models available on Hugging Face, Hermes LLMs are accessible for community-driven adjustments, promoting powerful AI tools aligned with user needs without corporate limitations.
