Nous Research Hermes for Businesses announcement

Nous Research has raised a $90 million Series B at a $1.5 billion valuation and introduced Hermes for Businesses, TechCrunch reported on October 7. The company plans to offer customized agents for multi-step enterprise workflows, building on its publicly available Hermes Agent. TechCrunch says Robot Ventures led the funding round and that total funding has reached $158 million. The article attributes Hermes adoption and token-usage figures to Nous Research’s own estimates, which are not independently audited in the report. The official Hermes site documents the existing agent, but the reviewed sources do not establish when the business offering will be generally available or validate its privacy claims.
