A double announcement from Nous Research
Nous Research, the developer of the Hermes agent, confirmed it has closed a $90 million Series B funding round and reached a $1.5 billion valuation.
The company announced the funding alongside the launch of new AI agents aimed at business users. That marks a move beyond individual users toward the enterprise side.
Why it matters
AI agents — systems that can plan and carry out tasks on a user's behalf — have moved to the center of enterprise software. Nous Research entering this space signals a shift to commercial products for a team best known for open models.
The $90 million round and $1.5 billion valuation show investor interest in agent technology remains strong.
