Model Card

Arcee Spotlight is a 7-billion-parameter vision-language model from Arcee AI, derived from Qwen2.5-VL and fine-tuned for tight image-text grounding tasks including visual question answering, image captioning, and diagram analysis.

At 7B parameters it is designed for fast inference, making it practical for real-time or high-volume multimodal API workloads where latency and cost are constraints. Early benchmarks show it matching or outscoring larger VLMs such as LLaVA-1.6 13B on VQA and POPE alignment tests.

A strong choice for developers who need capable vision-language understanding without the cost overhead of larger multimodal models — well suited for document parsing, visual QA pipelines, and image-grounded chat.

Trinity Large Thinking

Trinity Large Thinking is a 398-billion-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts reasoning model from Arcee AI, with approximately 13B active parameters per token, post-trained with extended chain-of-thought and agentic reinforcement learning. It generates explicit reasoning traces in thinking blocks before final responses, and its 262K context window accommodates long agentic reasoning chains. Benchmark results include 94.7% on τ²-Bench and 98.2% on LiveCodeBench, placing it at #2 on PinchBench behind only Claude Opus 4.6. Released under Apache 2.0, Trinity Large Thinking is the strongest option in the Trinity family for agentic pipelines, long-horizon planning, complex multi-step coding, and tasks that benefit from transparent reasoning traces.
