Analysis Summary

Hermes 4, based on Llama 3.1 70B in its non-reasoning variant, is offered by Nous Research. The supplied record gives an intelligence index of 6.7 and lists pricing at $0.13 per million input tokens and $0.40 per million output tokens. It does not include detailed coding, instruction-following, or context results for this specific variant.

The low listed token prices make it a candidate for small-scale, cost-sensitive trials, but the lack of broader measurements leaves uncertainty about quality and reliability. The data does not establish strong tool use, long-context performance, or suitability for unsupervised client-facing work.

Use it only for lower-risk tasks with output review until it passes representative evaluations. Its price is attractive for testing, but capability should be confirmed before committing production traffic.
