An experimental merge model based on Llama 3, exhibiting a very distinctive style of writing. It combines the the best of Meta's Llama 3 8B(opens in new tab) and Nous Research's Hermes 2 Pro(opens in new tab).

Hermes-2 Θ (theta) was specifically designed with a few capabilities in mind: executing function calls, generating JSON output, and most remarkably, demonstrating metacognitive abilities (contemplating the nature of thought and recognizing the diversity of cognitive processes among individuals).
