Nous Research has launched Nous Chat, a user-facing chatbot that employs the Hermes 3-70B AI model, a fine-tuned variant of Meta's Llama 3.1. The chatbot offers a familiar interface akin to ChatGPT and includes reasoning enhancements and experimental capabilities. Despite initial claims of offering unrestricted AI models, Nous Chat includes some content guardrails. While it lacks advanced features seen in other chatbots, it remains an interesting experiment with potential for future enhancements.
