About Arcee AI

Arcee AI builds open-weight foundation models that run anywhere - edge, on-prem, or cloud, so builders keep control. Our Trinity family standardizes capabilities across sizes and is released under Apache-2.0. What you adopt today runs tomorrow.

Our Story

Arcee AI is a U.S. model lab led by builders. We began in post-training, then moved upstream to pre-train our own models because we believe progress won’t be defined by size, but by efficiency, adaptability, and the ability to own what you build.

That belief produced Trinity. Our first family of foundation models with consistent skills from on-device to cloud. We optimize for performance per parameter and release weights under Apache-2.0. Every model we ship is permanent and portable, so there’s no lock-in and no forced upgrades. We’re investing to make open weights the durable standard: curated + synthetic data pipelines, reliability measured on tool use and structured outputs, and a commitment to open-weight R&D. The goal is simple: a permanent, practical foundation for AI that is efficient to serve, trustworthy to scale, and ready for real products.

CEO @ Arcee

Working at Arcee has been the fastest growth experience of my career. I get to partner across research, strategy, and engineering, and the team’s shared rhythm turns alignment into momentum. The result is simple: we ship faster, learn faster, and the sum of what we build together is greater than anything we could do alone.
