Hermes 3 contains advanced long-term context retention and multi-turn conversation capability, complex roleplaying and internal monologue abilities, and enhanced agentic function-calling. Our training data aggressively encourages the model to follow the system and instruction prompts exactly and in an adaptive manner. Hermes 3 was created by fine-tuning Llama 3.1 8B, 70B and 405B, and training on a dataset of primarily synthetically generated responses. The model boasts comparable and superior performance to Llama 3.1 while unlocking deeper capabilities in reasoning and creativity.
