What the uncensored tag actually means
nousresearch/hermes-3-llama-3.1-405b is tagged uncensored, which here means a loosely aligned finetune. It refuses far less than a frontier instruct model, but it is not abliterated: the refusal behaviour was reduced by training, not surgically removed, so it can still decline. Nothing about the tag promises it will answer anything.
