title: "Deploy Nous Models on Gaia \U0001F331"

---

Gaia now supports running Nous Research’s Hermes-4-14B directly as decentralized AI nodes.

Using Gaia, developers can:

* Spin up specialized LLM nodes powered by Hermes‑4‑14B quantized variants (Q4_K_M or Q5_K_M recommended).
* Integrate domain‑specific knowledge bases and RAG pipelines through Gaia’s node framework.
* Register deployed nodes into Gaia Domains (with staking and discovery support).
* Interact with these nodes via OpenAI‑compatible APIs — no retraining or opaque APIs needed. Agents and applications can use this Nous-powered domain as inference on their local machine or cloud.

Install Gaia Node via CLI Quickstart

```
curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash

gaianet config \
--chat-url https://huggingface.co/bartowski/NousResearch_Hermes-4-14B-GGUF/resolve/main/NousResearch_Hermes-4-14B-Q4_K_M.gguf \
--prompt-template chatml

gaianet init

gaianet start
```

You should see a Gaia Node URL in this format: https://your-node-id.gaia.domains
