Nous Research drops Hermes 4 AI models that outperform ChatGPT without content restrictions
Nous Research launches Hermes 4 open-source AI models that outperform ChatGPT on math benchmarks with uncensored responses and hybrid reasoning capabilities.
The training process required 192 Nvidia B200 GPUs and 71,616 GPU hours for the largest model — a significant but not unprecedented computational investment that demonstrates how specialized techniques can compete with the massive scale of tech giants. For enterprise users and researchers, the models represent a potentially attractive alternative to paying for API access to proprietary systems, especially for applications requiring high levels of customization or handling of sensitive content. While major technology companies argue that careful content moderation and safety guardrails are essential for responsible AI deployment, Nous Research contends that transparency and user agency are more important than corporate-imposed restrictions.
