Arcee AI Releases Trinity Large Preview: 400B-Parameter MoE Model with 512K Context Window
Arcee AI has released Trinity Large Preview, a 400B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 13B active parameters per token. The model uses 4-of-256 expert routing architecture and is currently available for free through OpenRouter.
Technical Specifications
Trinity Large Preview features:
- Total parameters: 400 billion (sparse)
- Active parameters per token: 13 billion
- Expert routing: 4-of-256 MoE architecture
- Context window: Up to 512K tokens (native support)
- Current deployment: 128K context window using 8-bit quantization
- Pricing: Free during preview period (ends April 22, 2026)
- License: Open weights with permissive licensing
Capabilities and Target Use Cases
According to Arcee AI, Trinity Large Preview excels in creative writing, storytelling, role-play, chat scenarios, and real-time voice assistance. The company claims the model performs better in these areas than typical reasoning models.
The model was specifically trained for agentic workflows, designed to navigate agent frameworks including OpenCode, Cline, and Kilo Code. Arcee AI states it handles complex toolchains and long, constraint-filled prompts effectively.
Deployment Details
The Preview API currently serves the model at 128K context using 8-bit quantization for practical deployment, though the architecture natively supports context windows up to 512K tokens. The model is available through OpenRouter's API with standard OpenAI-compatible formatting.
Benchmark scores have not been disclosed. The free preview period will end on April 22, 2026, though future pricing has not been announced.
What This Means
Trinity Large Preview represents Arcee AI's entry into frontier-scale models with a focus on efficiency through sparse MoE architecture. The 400B total parameter count with only 13B active per token aims to deliver large model capabilities at lower computational cost. The open weights and permissive licensing lower barriers for developers and researchers to experiment with frontier-scale models, particularly for agentic applications. However, the lack of published benchmark scores makes it difficult to assess performance against competing models in the 400B+ parameter class.
