Nous Research Commercializes Open-Source Hermes Agents

Nous Research confirmed a $90 million Series B at a reported $1.5 billion valuation, with Nvidia, Microsoft's M12, Samsung, and other strategic backers. Its Hermes ecosystem combines MIT-licensed models, routing, desktop tool use, persistent skills, and enterprise administration, positioning the company against proprietary agent platforms; adoption, revenue, and token-share claims remain largely company-reported.
