Hermes 4 405B is the large-scale reasoning release from Nous Research, based on Meta's Llama 3.1 405B. Its hybrid mode lets the model either think through a problem internally with reasoning traces or reply directly, trading depth for speed on demand. A reasoning-heavy, expanded post-training set sharpens maths, code, STEM and logic, and on structured tasks it handles JSON output, schema conformance, function calls and tool use while refusing less often.
Hermes 4 405B is a good fit for complex reasoning, agentic pipelines and high-fidelity structured output. It supports tool (function) calling and explicit reasoning. The model works with a context window of about 131K tokens, so it comfortably handles long inputs. It is served through Hormouz behind an OpenAI-compatible API. Just point your base URL at Hormouz and drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs unchanged.
Pricing is usage-based: $1 per million input tokens and $3 per million output tokens, billed only for what you use. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
