Hermes 4 14B

Hermes 4 14B is the smallest model in Nous Research's Hermes 4 family, a fine-tune of Qwen3-14B trained on a post-training corpus of roughly 60B tokens built around verified reasoning traces. It is a hybrid reasoning model. It answers directly by default and can be switched into a reasoning mode that works through explicit think segments before the final answer, with training aimed at keeping those reasoning traces from running overlong. It is trained for function calling and tool use within a single assistant turn, and for structured outputs, including emitting schema-valid JSON and repairing malformed objects. In line with the Hermes series' focus on steerability and neutral alignment, Nous Research reports state-of-the-art results for Hermes 4 on its RefusalBench test, meaning fewer refused requests than comparable models.

Hermes 4 405B

Hermes 4 405B is a frontier hybrid-mode reasoning model based on Llama-3.1-405B, trained on a 60B token dataset with verified reasoning traces. It features toggleable deep reasoning via think tags, massive improvements in math, code, STEM, and logic, and achieves state-of-the-art on RefusalBench for reduced censorship.
