Summary

  • DeepHermes-3 is the latest open-source AI reasoning model from New York-based Nous Research, which has been refining its AI models for nearly five years.
  • Built on top of Hermes 3, it is an LLM that unifies reasoning and intuitive language model capabilities, offering users the choice between rapid, intuitive responses or longer, reasoned ones.
  • Notably, it supports metacognition-like behaviour and can deliberate with itself to arrive at a more accurate solution than if it were working intuitively alone.
  • It can be downloaded via HuggingFace and is optimized for low-power hardware, although certain conditions apply for use, modification and redistribution under Meta’s Llama 3 Community License.
  • Nous Research says DeepHermes-3 is a stepping stone to its next model, Hermes 4, which is scheduled to launch at the end of 2024 and will likely include enhancements to its reasoning and conversational skills.
