Nous Research
Nous Research is a pioneer in open AI training and research. We created Hermes Agent, the most widely used open source agent harness in the world.
We are on a mission to create and proliferate open access to intelligence.
Leading the American Open Source Movement
We train models, build agents, and develop infrastructure to accelerate adoption of open intelligence globally.
Advancing Human Rights and Freedoms
We believe that powerful AI should be in the hands of the many rather than the privileged few. Our aim is to create and democratize access to the world's best intelligence.
Understanding the Intelligence Frontier
Our primary research focus areas include agents, model architecture, data synthesis, fine-tuning, and reasoning, all aimed at advancing our understanding of models and how they can benefit humanity.

Hermes Agent now has a Plugin Catalog: starting with 4 official plugins and 96 from the community, covering desktop mods, new platforms, browsing, specialized tools, and more. Our team reviews every community plugin, and we will add new ones regularly. hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/plugins
New blog post: We had a million lines of Python to clean up. On September 2nd @Teknium asked Hermes Agent to do it. 1,393 subagents and nineteen hours later, the codebase was 34.4% smaller, saving us nearly $2m in engineering hours. nousresearch.com/refactoring-he…
Hermes Agent is open for business. Nous Portal now lets you invite colleagues to a Hermes Business account: your team gets agents across channels while sharing one central balance with per-member caps and shared skills that compound into proprietary IP. Hermes Enterprise brings the same capabilities to on-prem or the cloud of your choice: a complete, self-improving, sovereign AI stack already trusted by some of the world's largest companies. Contact us to join them. https://t.co/JafZMCVAgm
Hermes Agent now displays detailed information on all subagent activities live, and you can steer and stop them manually from the CLI and Desktop Application.
You can now use the Perplexity Search API in Hermes Agent x.com/perplexitydevs…
Hermes now has first-class support in Omarchy, @DHH’s Arch-based agentic Linux distribution. Install the desktop app from the AI menu, or make Hermes your default terminal agent. Your Omarchy theme sets the colors in the desktop app, the TUI and the CLI. omarchy.org
