Hello again, everyone! We've got another really fun 9b, this one specifically trained for tool calling and agentic coding workflows in @NousResearch Hermes agent. Happy to report that it crushes, and as a 9b it runs on super affordable hardware. We also hit this one with some coding domain-specific training, and it scored a 53.33% on SWE bench on a slice of 200 samples! To me, I was really shocked to see this high of a score on a 9B model in swe, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's nipping at the heels of the Gemma 4 series, much larger models on this particular benchmark, which is really incredible to see! It also crushes the HermesAgent-20 benchmark, scoring an 85 vs the base model's 71! Make sure to run it hot, --temp around 1, that seems to be the sweet spot for running these particular fine tunes in harnesses. If you have trouble, you can work your way down, but it does a much better job departing from base models, overthinking when you run it, high temp ~1. Please spin it up in Hermes and let us know your thoughts! Looking forward to hearing your feedback as always! Also, those of you waiting for Qwopus 3.6 27B, I have put together a preliminary evaluation for you in my HF repo, go check it out; we will be releasing the full model very soon! I will put the preliminary repo in the comments!
