Nous Research launches Hermes 4 open-source AI models that outperform ChatGPT on math benchmarks with uncensored responses and hybrid reasoning capabilities.

One of the defining features is its native long-context capability, with a maximum length of 512,000 tokens, 2X OpenAI's GPT-5 family.

Morris found it could also reproduce verbatim passages from copyrighted works, including three out of six book excerpts he tried.

New research reveals open-source AI models use up to 10 times more computing resources than closed alternatives, potentially negating cost advantages for enterprise deployments.

For enterprise teams and commercial developers, this means the model can be embedded in products or fine-tuned.

The verdict, for now, is split. OpenAI’s gpt-oss models are a landmark in terms of licensing and accessibility.

Enterprises can use a powerful, near topline OpenAI LLM on their hardware totally privately and securely, without sending data to the cloud.

Arora explains this as a difference between searching for a path versus already knowing roughly where the destination lies.
