Nous Research

The maker of the Hermes model line, which its own site's structured metadata and footer both describe as "The AI accelerator company". Its releases page dates each release, and the recorded Hermes-4-14B release rests on that page. The company type is recorded rather than community: nothing read here states that contributors outside the entity's own appointment chain decide its releases, so the independent-contributor clause is not claimed, and the self-description as a company settles it.

Nous Research / Hermes 4 Verified

Hermes 4 14B

A 14B hybrid-mode reasoning model based on Qwen 3 14B, described on its card as "a frontier, hybrid-mode reasoning model based on Qwen 3 14B by Nous Research that is aligned to you". Its licence slug (apache-2.0) and its declared base (Qwen/Qwen3-14B, itself Apache-2.0) agree, so the Apache-2.0 record rests on two mutually-consistent statements. Nous lists it as "Small and dense Hermes variant for local inference" on its releases page.
