NOUS RELEASES HERMES 4

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Nous Research, a frontier AI lab using crypto for the coordination of compute resources, has launched Hermes 4, a new line of hybrid reasoning models designed to be uncensored and user-aligned while maintaining state-of-the-art performance in mathematics, coding, and reasoning. The company also introduced RefusalBench, a new benchmark testing models' willingness to be helpful across scenarios typically restricted by other AI systems. Hermes 4 achieves superior performance against both open and closed models in operating without censorship. Nous Research is offering free inference access through its revamped chat interface for the first week, along with a comprehensive technical report that sets new transparency standards for AI model benchmarking. Hermes 4 supports the crypto community's need for unconstrained analytical and development tools.
