Hermes 4 405B and the Uncensored AI Wave – Do users really want that?

I find it quite interesting that more and more folks in the AI community are starting to mention "uncensored" models like Hermes 4 405B.

This indicates a growing demand.

Users not only want smarter AI.

They want AI with fewer restrictions.

When AI refuses to answer or skirts around a topic, users feel like they’re interacting with a system that’s overly controlled.

And that’s why uncensored models are grabbing attention.

But looking deeper, I think the issue isn’t whether AI is censored or not.

It’s about who decides those boundaries.

If all limits are set by a single company, users have almost no choice.

But if multiple models coexist, users can pick the one that suits their needs.

Those who need a safe environment might opt for a more controlled model.

Those who want to dive deep into research or explore ideas freely can choose a more open model.

In my view, the future of AI might not be all uncensored.

But it should be about users having the right to choose.

And that’s also why open AI infrastructures are becoming crucial.

When thousands of models coexist in one ecosystem, decision-making power gradually shifts from providers to users themselves.

Maybe Hermes 4 405B isn't the final destination.

But it reflects a bigger trend:

Users are starting to want more control over their AI experience rather than just accepting what's readily available.
