What Trinity-Mini is

src="https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/6435718aaaef013d1aec3b8b/i-v1KyAMOWmgVGeic9WJ.png" alt="Arcee Trinity Mini" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" 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.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys trinity-mini for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (trinity-mini below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"trinity-mini","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
