AI Models
🔱 Hermes 3 - the new Open Source model

The Buzz: Hermes 3, an open-source model boasting major advancements in roleplaying, agentic tasks, function calling, multi-turn conversations, and maintaining coherence over extended contexts.

🔑 Key Points:

• Available in three sizes—8B, 70B, and 405B parameters—with comprehensive enhancements.

• Designed for roleplaying, agentic tasks, function calling, and maintaining coherence in extended conversations.

• Tailored to your requirements, prioritizing your needs over external policies for reduced censorship and increased steerability.

• Offers advanced features like agentic XML, scratchpads, and internal monologues.

• Delivers superior performance in step-level reasoning, planning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Takeaway: Meta has long led the way in open-source AI, but companies like Nous Research and Mistral are closing the gap with their recent Hermes 3 and Large 2 models.
