Hermes 3 70B Instruct

A 70-billion parameter instruction-tuned language model from Nous with a 131K token context window.

Strengths

Handles complex multi-turn conversations and agentic reasoning tasks with a large context window for long-form inputs.

Best for

Applications requiring extended context and instruction-following at the 70B parameter scale, before Hermes 4 70B superseded it.

Limitations

Replaced by Hermes 4 70B (August 2025), which offers improvements at the same parameter and context size; smaller than Hermes 3 405B Instruct for tasks demanding maximum capacity.
