About Arcee Trinity Large Thinking 400B
Arcee Trinity Large Thinking 400B (399B) is a chat, coding, ai coding, reasoning, multi-purpose model. Arcee AI's largest Mixture-of-Experts reasoning model. 399B total parameters with only 13B active per token (256 experts, 4 selected; 1.56% routing, one of the sparsest MoE architectures in production). 512K native context. Trained on 17 trillion tokens across 2,048 B300 GPUs. Post-trained with extended chain-of-thought reasoning and agentic reinforcement learning. Ranks #2 on PinchBench behind Claude Opus-4.6. Requires a GB300 (288 GB) for full in-VRAM inference; even the M4 Ultra 192 GB cannot fit Q3_K_M. US-built, Apache 2.0 licensed.
