AI-powered open models
Nous Research is an open models AI agent offering an open AI research collective behind the Hermes family of open-weight language models. Nous Research helps developers and researchers automate open models work and get results faster.
Nous Research takes text as input and produces text. It is powered by Nous Hermes models, with the vendor managing prompts, models and updates. It connects to tools such as Hugging Face, Python, PyTorch and AWS, so the agent works inside existing workflows.
Nous Research is built for developers and researchers. It suits teams that want Hermes open models and function calling without adding headcount, while keeping people in control of review and final decisions.
Nous Research is often compared with Meta Llama. Nous Research stands out for Hermes open models and decentralized training. The right choice depends on your workflow, integrations and budget, so compare both on a real task.
