Hermes 3 Llama 3.1 405B

by Nous Research

Hermes 3 405B is the first full-parameter fine-tune of Meta's Llama 3.1 405B, Nous Research's largest Hermes 3 model, with a 131,072 token context window. The model brings advanced agentic capabilities, reliable function calling, and structured outputs, combined with much improved roleplaying, reasoning, and multi-turn conversation coherence over long contexts. Training emphasized high-quality instruction data designed to make the model follow system prompts adaptively and precisely. Nous Research positions Hermes 3 405B as competitive, if not superior, to Llama 3.1 Instruct on general capabilities, while unlocking stronger steerability toward individual alignment preferences. This model targets developers building sophisticated multi-agent systems, complex reasoning pipelines, and applications requiring deep context coherence. It uses the ChatML prompt format and works with OpenAI-compatible serving stacks such as vLLM and SGLang.
