Trinity-Large-Preview-NVFP4

This repository contains the NVFP4 quantized weights of Trinity-Large-Preview for deployment on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.

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.

More details on the training of Trinity Large are available in the technical report.

Quantization Details

• Scheme: NVFP4 (nvfp4_mlp_only — MLP/expert weights only, attention remains BF16)
• Tool: NVIDIA ModelOpt
• Calibration: 512 samples, seq_length=2048, all-expert calibration enabled
• KV cache: Not quantized

---

Model Variants

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

• Trinity-Large-Preview: Lightly post-trained, chat-ready model undergoing active RL
• Trinity-Large-TrueBase: 10T-token pre-anneal pretraining checkpoint
• Trinity-Large-Base: Full 17T-token pretrained foundation model with mid-training anneals

Running with vLLM

Requires vLLM >= 0.18.0. Native FP4 compute requires Blackwell GPUs; older GPUs fall back to Marlin weight decompression automatically.

Blackwell GPUs (B200/B300/GB300) — Docker (recommended)

docker run --runtime nvidia --gpus all -p 8000:8000 \
  -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
  vllm/vllm-openai:v0.18.0-cu130 \
  arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Preview-NVFP4 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
  --max-model-len 8192

Hopper GPUs (H100/H200) and others

vllm serve arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Preview-NVFP4 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
  --max-model-len 8192 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000

Note (Blackwell pip installs): If installing vLLM via pip on Blackwell rather than using Docker, native FP4 kernels may produce incorrect output due to package version mismatches. As a workaround, force the Marlin backend:

export VLLM_NVFP4_GEMM_BACKEND=marlin

vllm serve arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Preview-NVFP4 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
  --moe-backend marlin \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
  --max-model-len 8192 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 8000

Marlin decompresses FP4 weights to BF16 for compute, providing the full memory compression benefit but not native FP4 compute speedup. On Hopper GPUs (H100/H200), Marlin is selected automatically and no extra flags are needed.
