Nous: Hermes 3 405B InstructModel25/100 via “instruction-following with nuanced constraint handling”
Hermes 3 is a generalist language model with many improvements over Hermes 2, including advanced agentic capabilities, much better roleplaying, reasoning, multi-turn conversation, long context coherence, and improvements across the...
Unique: Hermes 3 405B's instruction-following improvements come from instruction-tuning on datasets emphasizing constraint satisfaction and edge case handling. The 405B scale enables better parsing of complex, multi-part instructions with implicit dependencies.
vs others: Provides better constraint handling than Llama 2 Chat due to explicit instruction-tuning, though may require more careful prompt engineering than Claude 3 which has more robust implicit constraint understanding.
