Hermes 4.3 36B (Thinking)
Hermes 4.3 36B (NVFP4) is the compressed variant of NousResearch’s Open Weights model based on ByteDance Seed-OSS-36B, fully decentralized post-trained via the Psyche network. Fireworks compressed the BF16 checkpoint to NVFP4, significantly reducing the memory footprint of the weights. 36 billion dense parameters, 512,000 tokens of native context, optional thinking mode, and an Apache 2.0 license for free commercial use.

Sovereign Risk: MEDIUM Firworks/Hermes-4.3-36B-nvfp4 is an NVFP4 quantization (LLM-Compressor, long-seq calibration on Rombo-Org/Optimized_Reasoning) of the NousResearch base weights (Hermes-4.3-36B on ByteDance Seed-OSS-36B-Base, decentrally post-trained via Psyche). Apache-2.0 license, publicly available on HuggingFace. NousResearch is subject to the US CLOUD Act; with fully local vLLM deployment there is no cloud data egress, risk remains moderate.

Score
- Total Score
- Overall score derived from Routine and Reasoning scores. Basis for the fleet rank and tier assignment (Gold / Silver / Bronze).
- Routine
- Score for standard tasks: code generation, text transformation, structured outputs. Weighted by task complexity.
- Reasoning
- Score for analytical and logical tasks: multi-step problem solving, mathematical reasoning, structured argumentation.
- Rank
- Position in the fleet comparison, sorted by Total Score. Refers to the snapshot at the time of testing.
LLM Judge
- LLM Judge Ø
- Average quality rating by an independent judge model on a scale of 1–5.
- Coverage
- Share of tasks for which a judge rating is available. 100% means all responses were evaluated.
Latency & speed
- Avg. Task Duration
- Average time per task from the first to the last token of the response, measured across all benchmark tasks.
- Token Rate
- Output speed in tokens per second. Relevant for interactive applications and real-time streaming.
- P95 Latency
- 95th percentile of response times — shows outliers. Lower values mean fewer long wait times in edge cases.
Cost
- Cost per 1K
- API price per 1,000 output tokens in US dollars. Basis for cost calculation in production use.
- Benchmark Cost
- Total cost for the complete benchmark run of this model.
