March 12, 2025: Nous Research Unveils Unrestricted AI API - Nous Research has launched an Inference API to provide access to its unrestricted language models, Hermes 3 Llama 70B and DeepHermes-3. This challenges big tech's restrictive models, offering developers more flexibility while managing demand via a waitlist system. The API reflects a shift toward commercialization, combining open-source principles with monetization by charging for infrastructure, not the models. This strategy seeks independence from big tech, offering an alternative for developers wary of AI centralization, and aims to foster innovation within the AI space.
