About Hermes 3
Experiment, and push the boundaries of individual alignment, artificial consciousness, open-source software, and decentralization, in ways that monolithic companies and governments are too afraid to try. Hermes 3 contains advanced long-term context retention and multi-turn conversation capability, complex roleplaying and internal monologue abilities, and enhanced agentic function-calling. Our training data aggressively encourages the model to follow the system and instruction prompts exactly and in an adaptive manner. Hermes 3 was created by fine-tuning Llama 3.1 8B, 70B, and 405B, and training on a dataset of primarily synthetically generated responses. The model boasts comparable and superior performance to Llama 3.1 while unlocking deeper capabilities in reasoning and creativity. Hermes 3 is a series of instruct and tool-use models with strong reasoning and creative abilities.

Tülu 3
Tülu 3 is an advanced instruction-following language model developed by the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2), designed to enhance capabilities in areas such as knowledge, reasoning, mathematics, coding, and safety. Built upon the Llama 3 Base, Tülu 3 employs a comprehensive four-stage post-training process: meticulous prompt curation and synthesis, supervised fine-tuning on a diverse set of prompts and completions, preference tuning using both off- and on-policy data, and a novel reinforcement learning approach to bolster specific skills with verifiable rewards. This open-source model distinguishes itself by providing full transparency, including access to training data, code, and evaluation tools, thereby closing the performance gap between open and proprietary fine-tuning methods. Evaluations indicate that Tülu 3 outperforms other open-weight models of similar size, such as Llama 3.1-Instruct and Qwen2.5-Instruct, across various benchmarks.

Llama 2
The next generation of our open source large language model. This release includes model weights and starting code for pretrained and fine-tuned Llama language models — ranging from 7B to 70B parameters.
Llama 2 pretrained models are trained on 2 trillion tokens, and have double the context length than Llama 1. Its fine-tuned models have been trained on over 1 million human annotations.
Llama 2 outperforms other open source language models on many external benchmarks, including reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests.
Llama 2 was pretrained on publicly available online data sources. The fine-tuned model, Llama-2-chat, leverages publicly available instruction datasets and over 1 million human annotations.
We have a broad range of supporters around the world who believe in our open approach to today’s AI — companies that have given early feedback and are excited to build with Llama 2.

Hermes 4
Hermes 4 is the latest evolution in Nous Research’s line of neutrally aligned, steerable foundational models, featuring novel hybrid reasoners that can dynamically shift between expressive, creative responses and efficient, standard replies based on user prompts. The model is designed to respond to system and user instructions, rather than adhering to any corporate ethics framework, producing interactions that feel more humanistic, less lecturing or sycophantic, and encouraging roleplay and creativity. By incorporating a special tag in prompts, users can trigger deeper, internally token-intensive reasoning when tackling complex problems, while retaining prompt efficiency when such depth isn't required. Trained on a dataset 50 times larger than that of Hermes 3, much of which was synthetically generated using Atropos, Hermes 4 shows significant performance improvements.

Inkling
Inkling is an open-weights multimodal AI model from Thinking Machines designed as a customizable foundation model for developers, researchers, and enterprises. The model is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975 billion total parameters, 41 billion active parameters, and support for context windows up to 1 million tokens. Inkling was trained from scratch on text, images, audio, and video, giving it native capabilities across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, vision, audio, factuality, and instruction following. It is built with controllable thinking effort so users can balance performance, latency, and token efficiency for different workloads. The model is available for fine-tuning on Tinker, with playground access, API availability through ecosystem partners, and full weights published on Hugging Face. Built for customization, Inkling gives teams an open-weights base model for building domain-specific AI systems, multimodal agents, coding workflows, research tools, and more.
