Two Routes to the Trinity Models

Arcee made its Trinity family available through both downloadable weights and a hosted API. This gives teams a way to test the models without standing up infrastructure and a separate route to run the weights in their own environment.

Deployment Choices Around Open Weights

Arcee and Mistral both combine hosted access with downloadable weights for selected models. Buyers who need to operate the model themselves should compare the license and deployment requirements of the specific Trinity or Mistral checkpoint, since availability differs across releases.
