arcee-ai / Trinity-Mini

Trinity Mini

Trinity Mini is an Arcee AI 26B MoE model with 3B active parameters. It is the medium-sized model in our new Trinity family, a series of open-weight models for enterprise and tinkerers alike.

This model is tuned for reasoning, but in testing, it uses a similar total token count to competitive instruction-tuned models.

---

Trinity Mini is trained on 10T tokens gathered and curated through a key partnership with Datology , building upon the excellent dataset we used on AFM-4.5B with additional math and code.

Training was performed on a cluster of 512 H200 GPUs powered by Prime Intellect using HSDP parallelism.

More details, including key architecture decisions, can be found on our blog here

Benchmarks

Running our model

• Transformers
• VLLM
• llama.cpp
• LM Studio
• API

Transformers

Use the main transformers branch

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
cd transformers

# pip
pip install '.[torch]'

# uv
uv pip install '.[torch]'

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "arcee-ai/Trinity-Mini"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.5,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95
)

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

If using a released transformers, simply pass "trust_remote_code=True":

model_id = "arcee-ai/Trinity-Mini"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)
