Hermes 3 405B Instruct

A 405-billion parameter instruction-tuned language model from Nous with a 131K token context window.

Strengths

The large parameter count enables strong performance on complex reasoning, code generation, and multi-step tasks requiring deep knowledge.

Best for

Applications requiring high-capability reasoning and generation where latency is less critical than accuracy and depth of response.

Limitations

Hermes 4 405B supersedes this model as the newer flagship 405B offering from Nous, and the smaller Hermes 4 70B provides a faster alternative for many workloads.
