Model reference · open weights
Trinity-Nano is an open-weight language model from arcee-ai. AxForge deploys and operates it for you on dedicated EU-owned hardware — with the licence handled where one is required.
Available as managed deployment — configured and operated for you on dedicated EU hardware, quoted per deployment.

Trinity Nano Preview is a preview of Arcee AI's 6B MoE model with 1B active parameters. It is the small-sized model in our new Trinity family, a series of open-weight models for enterprise and tinkerers alike.
This is a chat tuned model, with a delightful personality and charm we think users will love. We note that this model is pushing the limits of sparsity in small language models with only 800M non-embedding parameters active per token, and as such may be unstable in certain use cases, especially in this preview.
This is an experimental release, it's fun to talk to but will not be hosted anywhere, so download it and try it out yourself!
Trinity Nano Preview 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
Once AxForge deploys trinity-nano for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (trinity-nano 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-nano","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 5M tokens/month currently included with every new account at launch.
