Nous: Hermes 3 70B Instruct

Hermes 3 70B Instruct is a generalist language model engineered to provide users with significant control and steering capabilities. Built as a successor to the Hermes 2 series, this model is designed to excel in complex, multi-turn conversations and long-context coherence. Its architecture focuses on versatility, offering improved performance in reasoning, roleplaying, and code generation. By prioritizing user alignment, the model serves as a robust tool for tasks requiring precise instruction following and reliable, structured text outputs.

The model is a fine-tuned version of the Llama 3.1 70B foundation, incorporating synthetic training data to enhance its capabilities. This lineage allows it to support advanced agentic behaviors and more dependable function calling compared to its predecessors. With its ability to maintain context over extensive interactions, the model is well-suited for developers and researchers looking to build sophisticated applications that demand both high-level reasoning and consistent, steerable performance in diverse, real-world scenarios.
