About 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.

MaxHermes
MaxHermes is MiniMax’s cloud-hosted AI assistant built on Hermes Agent and powered by MiniMax M2.7, designed as a self-evolving agent that grows with the user. It removes the technical setup required by self-hosted agents, so users can start a personal AI agent in the cloud without configuring servers, Docker, API keys, or local environments. MaxHermes is always online, can go live in about 10 seconds, and runs 24/7 in the cloud, making it suitable for long-running tasks, scheduled monitoring, recurring workflows, and real-time assistance through everyday chat tools. Its defining feature is self-evolving intelligence: after completing complex tasks, MaxHermes can identify reusable patterns, extract them into new skills, and use those skills in future sessions so it becomes more aligned with the user’s habits, projects, and workflows over time. Each completion of a complex task can unlock a brand-new skill, turning work history into procedural memory rather than disposable chat history.

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.

GPT-5.1 Thinking
GPT-5.1 Thinking is the advanced reasoning model variant in the GPT-5.1 series, designed to more precisely allocate “thinking time” based on prompt complexity, responding faster to simpler requests and spending more effort on difficult problems. On a representative task distribution, it is roughly twice as fast on the fastest tasks and twice as slow on the slowest compared with its predecessor. Its responses are crafted to be clearer, with less jargon and fewer undefined terms, making deep analytical work more accessible and understandable. The model dynamically adjusts its reasoning depth, achieving a better balance between speed and thoroughness, particularly when dealing with technical concepts or multi-step questions. By combining high reasoning capacity with improved clarity, GPT-5.1 Thinking offers a powerful tool for tackling complex tasks, such as detailed analysis, coding, research, or technical explanations, while reducing unnecessary latency for routine queries.
