Hermes hosting
Nous Research’s Hermes models, served privately behind your own API.
Hermes hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant Hermes instance on our infrastructure: we install it, pin it to a reviewed release, put it behind TLS on your domain, back it up nightly and keep it patched. Plans start at $16.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.
Hermes is Nous Research’s instruction-tuned model family, known for following system prompts closely and staying steerable — which is why it shows up so often in agent and roleplay stacks. We serve the quantized builds through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on dedicated CPU cores, sized the same way as our other runtime plans.
Hermes hosting plans
Every plan is a dedicated single-tenant instance with NVMe storage, nightly off-box backups, TLS and managed patching. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual terms are discounted at checkout. Model tokens are not included — you bring your own key.
What people run Hermes for
Agent backbone
A model that respects a long system prompt without drifting.
Private assistant
Run the model behind your own endpoint with no third-party logging.
