# Trinity-Large-Preview-W4A16

## Introduction

Trinity-Large-Preview is a 398B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with approximately 13B active parameters per token. It is the largest model in Arcee AI's Trinity family, trained on more than 17 trillion tokens and delivering frontier-level performance with strong long-context comprehension.
Trinity-Large-Preview is a lightly post-trained model based on Trinity-Large-Base.

**This repository contains the W4A16 quantized weights of Trinity-Large-Preview (INT4 weights, 16-bit activations).**

Try it at [chat.arcee.ai](http://chat.arcee.ai/)

More details on the training of Trinity Large are available in the [technical report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17004).

## Quantization Details

- Scheme: `W4A16` (INT4 weights, 16-bit activations)
- Intended use: quality-preserving 4-bit deployment of Trinity-Large-Preview

## Model Variants

The Trinity Large family consists of three checkpoints from the same training run:

- **[Trinity-Large-Preview](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Preview)**: Lightly post-trained, chat-ready model undergoing active RL
- **[Trinity-Large-TrueBase](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-TrueBase)**: 10T-token pre-anneal pretraining checkpoint
- **[Trinity-Large-Base](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Base)**: Full 17T-token pretrained foundation model with mid-training anneals

## Architecture

Trinity-Large-Preview uses a sparse MoE configuration designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining large-scale capacity.

### Transformers

Use the `main` transformers branch or pass `trust_remote_code=True` with a released version.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Preview-W4A16"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.8,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.8
)

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
```

### VLLM
