About Nous Research

Nous Research, founded in 2023 by a distributed collective of AI researchers and open-source contributors, builds decentralized AI models and training infrastructure for open, aligned intelligence. Its work includes open-weight Hermes models, Psyche decentralized training that coordinates global GPU contributions, and inference tooling that lets developers run models without centralized APIs. Headquartered with a fully distributed team across North America and Europe, Nous emphasizes open research, model evaluation and community-driven alignment over proprietary development. The project collaborates with open-source communities and crypto incentive designers to fund compute and data contributions transparently. Its collective publishes evaluations, datasets and training playbooks that let open-source contributors reproduce, fine-tune and deploy models with transparent provenance. Expect a research and community-driven culture that values model openness, rigorous evaluation and empowering builders to deploy capable AI without reliance on closed providers.
