Instruct (or "chat") tuned models have become the primary way in which most
people interact with large language models. As opposed to "base" or
"foundation" models, instruct-tuned models are optimized to respond to
imperative statements. We present Hermes 3, a neutrally-aligned generalist
instruct and tool use model with strong reasoning and creative abilities. Its
largest version, Hermes 3 405B, achieves state of the art performance among
open weight models on several public benchmarks.
