Nous Research has released DeepHermes-3, a new AI language model that allows users to switch between detailed reasoning and quick responses. As reported by Carl Franzen for VentureBeat, this 8-billion parameter model builds on Meta’s Llama technology. Users can activate a special reasoning mode that makes the AI show its thought process before providing answers. The model processes complex tasks through “chains of thought,” helping it catch potential errors. DeepHermes-3 is available on HuggingFace and can run on consumer-grade hardware. The model maintains broad capabilities across various domains, including mathematics, coding, and creative writing. While freely available, it operates under Meta’s licensing restrictions, requiring large organizations to obtain explicit approval for commercial use.
