Hermes (Nous Research)
A family of open-weight AI models from Nous Research that your devs might mention, with almost no bearing on whether you get picked in ChatGPT
Hermes is a family of open-weight AI models from Nous Research.
They take an existing open base model, like Meta's Llama, and fine-tune it to follow instructions, call tools, and hold a conversation more reliably.
The latest releases run from small to very large sizes, all published openly so anyone can download and run them.
You'll hear the name on Twitter or from a developer who likes running models they fully control.
Why it matters for the ChatGPT funnel
Mostly, it's under the hood.
Hermes is a builder's model, not a place buyers ask questions. Your demand lives in ChatGPT and Claude, not in a self-hosted Hermes instance.
The one thing to know: a team that runs Hermes is signaling they care about open-source LLMs and full control. It's a culture cue, not a channel where you win pipeline.
How drio fits
You don't have to track which model is hot this week.
drio's job is the moment a buyer asks ChatGPT or Claude for a recommendation, and turning that into a booked meeting in the chat. Which model your engineers admire stays their business.
Win the answer, not just the ranking
drio turns the ChatGPT and Claude conversations your buyers are already having into booked calls. Build the app that gets you picked.
