Nous Research is the company blog at nousresearch.com, writing about ai and startups. Since 2024, 23 different Hacker News readers have linked it 27 times, most often “Democratizing AI: The Psyche Network Architecture”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (11) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters link the Nous Research site as a source on open-weight AI, pointing to its Hermes models, the Nous Psyche distributed training network, and its token superposition research. None of the comments judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 11 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
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.

What Hacker News says?
> There is no AI company like Mistral. The US equivalent of Mistral is Nous Research [0]. Also there would be no Mistral without Llama and it seems like everyone forgot that their LLMs derived from Meta. For every 'Mistral' in the EU, there's 3 or 5 of them in the US. [0] https://nousresearch.com

HN discussionSure, happy to provide you with an example of how to hold it (turns out Steve was right) =D https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent is 99% (just a guess) LLM generated. 1140 closed pull requests this week. 1.5k closed issues. The github insights page for commits doesn't load for me presumably because it can't handle this scale of commits. But I estimate ~1K commits per day on average. There's a blog entry https…

HN discussionSuper awesome. Wish they would release the paper about what they did to achieve this. I remember nous released the token superposition paper which improved pretraining FLOPs some, but not 50x: https://nousresearch.com/token-superposition . Wondering if they also found some cool tokenization strategiesa

HN discussionFrom top of my head: https://nousresearch.com/ They do much more than Hermes https://pluralis.ai/ has distributed models the network owns And many others filling very different niches. I would also count DeepSeek because they publish and share so much. Their new caching prices are very good for not that bad models. Last week I needed to generate content via API and I spent literally $3.40 where before I would've pai…

HN discussionIt's a fine-tuned model over Llama 3.1, which is the kind of thing I -- a non-expert -- would want to do and have though of doing if I trained a LLM for a specific programming language for private (non-cloud-hosted) use. So this is both interesting and yet I lack to knowledge to really understand its impact in the LLM world. > the model displays significant improvements in judgment and reward modeling. This seems si…
