• Model creator: NousResearch
• Original model: Hermes-2-Pro-Llama-3-8B

Model Description

Hermes 2 Pro is an upgraded, retrained version of Nous Hermes 2, consisting of an updated and cleaned version of the OpenHermes 2.5 Dataset, as well as a newly introduced Function Calling and JSON Mode dataset developed in-house.

This new version of Hermes maintains its excellent general task and conversation capabilities - but also excels at Function Calling, JSON Structured Outputs, and has improved on several other metrics as well, scoring a 90% on our function calling evaluation built in partnership with Fireworks.AI, and an 84% on our structured JSON Output evaluation.

Hermes Pro takes advantage of a special system prompt and multi-turn function calling structure with a new chatml role in order to make function calling reliable and easy to parse. Learn more about prompting below.

This version of Hermes 2 Pro adds several tokens to assist with agentic capabilities in parsing while streaming tokens - <tools>, <tool_call>, <tool_response> and their closing tags are single tokens now.

This work was a collaboration between Nous Research, @interstellarninja, and Fireworks.AI

How to use

Install the necessary packages

pip install --upgrade autoawq autoawq-kernels

Example Python code

from awq import AutoAWQForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, TextStreamer

model_path = "solidrust/Hermes-2-Pro-Llama-3-8B-AWQ"
system_message = "You are Hermes-2-Pro-Llama-3-8B, incarnated as a powerful AI. You were created by NousResearch."

# Load model
model = AutoAWQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_path,
                                          fuse_layers=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path,
                                          trust_remote_code=True)
streamer = TextStreamer(tokenizer,
                        skip_prompt=True,
                        skip_special_tokens=True)

# Convert prompt to tokens
prompt_template = """\
<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant"""

prompt = "You're standing on the surface of the Earth. "\
        "You walk one mile south, one mile west and one mile north. "\
        "You end up exactly where you started. Where are you?"

tokens = tokenizer(prompt_template.format(system_message=system_message,prompt=prompt),
                  return_tensors='pt').input_ids.cuda()

# Generate output
generation_output = model.generate(tokens,
                                  streamer=streamer,
                                  max_new_tokens=512)

About AWQ

AWQ is an efficient, accurate and blazing-fast low-bit weight quantization method, currently supporting 4-bit quantization. Compared to GPTQ, it offers faster Transformers-based inference with equivalent or better quality compared to the most commonly used GPTQ settings.

AWQ models are currently supported on Linux and Windows, with NVidia GPUs only. macOS users: please use GGUF models instead.

It is supported by:

• Text Generation Webui - using Loader: AutoAWQ
• vLLM - version 0.2.2 or later for support for all model types.
• Hugging Face Text Generation Inference (TGI)
• Transformers version 4.35.0 and later, from any code or client that supports Transformers
• AutoAWQ - for use from Python code
