Nous Research

Nous Research is an AI research lab focused on open-source, human-centric language models and decentralized training infrastructure. Founded in 2023, the company develops lightweight, human-aligned models (e.g., Hermes series) and a distributed pre-training network (Psyche) that coordinates idle GPU compute using DisTrO technology on the Solana blockchain. Its products and tooling target researchers, developers, and organizations seeking accessible, transparent AI model deployments and decentralized model training. Nous emphasizes openness, reproducibility, and scaled compute orchestration across a global participant network.
