Hermes 3

🖼️ Tool Name:
Hermes 3

🔖 Tool Category:
Programming & Development — specifically, a high-end open-source LLM framework with advanced reasoning, long-term context, and agentic capabilities.

✏️ What does this tool offer?
Hermes 3 is a generalist instruct-tuned large language model (LLM), fine-tuned from Meta’s Llama 3.1 (8B, 70B, 405B sizes). Developed by Nous Research, it features enhanced long-context retention, multi-turn conversation, complex role-playing, internal monologue, and agentic function-calling abilities—such as XML tool invocation, scratchpads, internal reasoning, and structured outputs like JSON or Mermaid diagrams

⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?

• Frontline-level performance among open-weight models on reasoning and creative tasks.

• Supports advanced agentic features: tool calling via XML tags, internal deliberation with <INNER_MONOLOGUE>, step-wise planning, and structured outputs like JSON

• Maintains coherent responses over extended interaction spans, enabling deeper alignments and human-like conversational capabilities.

🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes — Hermes 3 supports highly automated workflows:

• Enables autonomous multi-step reasoning and task-solving using internal monologues and function/tool calling

• Contextual recall over long interactions reduces the need for repeated prompts.
