Nous Research clarifies its TIME 'thank you' tweet was intern satire — Hermes wasn't selected
NousResearch · x · 2026-10-17
Nous Research's "Thank you @TIME" tweet was mistaken for news that its Hermes model made TIME's annual list. The team clarified it was satire from their social intern that nobody expected to be taken seriously: Hermes wasn't selected, and Nous says it doesn't do paid PR placements — though it thinks Hermes is "a wonderful invention" TIME may eventually recognize.
