From the model card
In the tapestry of Greek mythology, Hermes reigns as the eloquent Messenger of the Gods, a deity who deftly bridges the realms through the art of communication. It is in homage to this divine mediator that I name this advanced LLM "Hermes," a system crafted to navigate the complex intricacies of human discourse with celestial finesse.
OpenHermes 2 Mistral 7B is a state of the art Mistral Fine-tune.
OpenHermes was trained on 900,000 entries of primarily GPT-4 generated data, from open datasets across the AI landscape. [More details soon]
Filtering was extensive of these public datasets, as well as conversion of all formats to ShareGPT, which was then further transformed by axolotl to use ChatML.
Huge thank you to WingLian, One, and a16z for compute access and for sponsoring my work, and all the dataset creators and other people who's work has contributed to this project!
