Nous Research just launched an API that gives developers access to AI models that OpenAI and Anthropic won’t build
Nous Research launches new API for its "unrestricted" Hermes 3 and DeepHermes-3 AI models, challenging OpenAI with toggle-on reasoning capabilities and a developer-first approach.
The API launch represents a significant expansion of Nous Research’s offerings, which have gained attention for challenging the more restricted approaches of larger AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. “Previously, if researchers and users wanted to actually deploy these models, they’d needed to download and run the code on their own machines—a time-consuming, finicky, and potentially costly endeavor,” noted VentureBeat executive editor Carl Franzen in his coverage of the Nous Chat launch. By commercializing deployment while continuing to release model weights, Nous is attempting to square a difficult circle: generating revenue without alienating the open-source community that forms its foundation.
