Trinity-Large-Thinking

Introduction

Trinity-Large-Thinking is a reasoning-optimized variant of Arcee AI's Trinity-Large family — a 398B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with approximately 13B active parameters per token. Built on Trinity-Large-Base and post-trained with extended chain-of-thought reasoning and agentic RL, Trinity-Large-Thinking delivers state-of-the-art performance on agentic benchmarks while maintaining strong general capabilities.

Trinity-Large-Thinking generates explicit reasoning traces wrapped in <think>...</think> blocks before producing its final response. This thinking process is critical to the model's performance — thinking tokens must be kept in context for multi-turn conversations and agentic loops to function correctly.

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

Thinking-in-Context: Important Usage Note

Trinity-Large-Thinking produces reasoning traces inside <think>...</think> blocks before generating its final response.

This means:

Multi-turn conversations: When building chat applications, include the full assistant response (thinking + answer) in the conversation history for subsequent turns.
Agentic loops: When using Trinity-Large-Thinking as the backbone of an agent (OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, or custom), ensure your tool-calling loop preserves <think> blocks in the message history between steps.
Context window management: The 512k extended context window accommodates long reasoning chains across many agentic steps. If you must truncate history, prefer removing older turns entirely rather than stripping thinking tokens from recent turns.

How thinking works

The model reasons internally before producing its response. When served via vLLM, the reasoning is separated into a dedicated reasoning_content field in the API response:

// API response structure
{
  "message": {
    "role": "assistant",
    "reasoning_content": "The user wants flight information. I need to determine the date for next Tuesday, search for flights SFO → JFK, and filter by price < $300.",
    "content": "\n",
    "tool_calls": [{
      "function": {
        "name": "search_flights",
        "arguments": "{\"origin\": \"SFO\", \"destination\": \"JFK\", \"date\": \"2026-04-07\", \"max_price\": 300}"
      }
    }]
  }
}

When building multi-turn agentic loops, include the reasoning_content back in the conversation history (re-wrapped in <think>...</think> tags within the assistant message) so the model retains its prior reasoning chain.

Usage

Running our model

vLLM (recommended for agentic deployments)
Transformers
API

vLLM

Supported in vLLM 0.11.1+. For agentic use with both reasoning and tool calling:

vllm serve arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Thinking \
  --dtype bfloat16 \
  --enable-reasoning \
  --reasoning-parser deepseek_r1 \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder

This configuration:

--reasoning-parser deepseek_r1 — Parses <think>...</think> reasoning blocks and exposes them via the reasoning_content field in the API response
--tool-call-parser qwen3_coder — Parses structured tool calls from the model output into the OpenAI-compatible tool_calls array

Extracting reasoning content from the API response:

python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="EMPTY", base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1")

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Thinking",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Paris?"}
    ],
    tools=[ # your tool definitions here
        {
            "type": "function",
            "function": {
                "name": "get_weather",
                "description": "Get current weather for a location",
                "parameters": {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {
                        "location": {"type": "string"}
                    },
                    "required": ["location"]
                }
            }
        }
    ],
)

# Access reasoning (thinking) content
reasoning = response.choices[0].message.reasoning_content

# Access final response or tool calls
content = response.choices[0].message.content
tool_calls = response.choices[0].message.tool_calls

Note on thinking-in-context with vLLM: When building multi-turn agentic loops, include both reasoning_content and content in the conversation history you send back to the model. The reasoning content should be re-wrapped in <think>...</think> tags within the assistant message.

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-Thinking"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    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=4096,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95
)

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

API

Available on OpenRouter:

curl -X POST "https://openrouter.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "arcee-ai/trinity-large-thinking",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What are some fun things to do in New York?"
      }
    ]
  }'

Agentic Use Cases

Trinity-Large-Thinking is optimized for deployment as the reasoning backbone of AI agent systems. It has been evaluated and performs excellently with:

OpenClaw

Trinity-Large-Thinking works as a drop-in brain for OpenClaw agents. Its native tool-calling format is compatible with OpenClaw's execution loop, and the extended reasoning enables reliable multi-step task completion — from email triage to code generation to meeting scheduling. Our 91.9% PinchBench score reflects real-world OpenClaw task performance.

Hermes Agent

Compatible with the Hermes Agent framework from Nous Research. Trinity-Large-Thinking's reasoning traces pair naturally with Hermes's skill-learning loop — the model's explicit chain-of-thought makes skill extraction more reliable, and its strong tool-calling capabilities integrate directly via the Hermes tool-use protocol.

Custom Agent Loops

For custom implementations, the key integration pattern is:

Send the user message with tool definitions
Receive the response with <think> reasoning + tool calls
Execute the tool calls
Append the full assistant response (thinking + content + tool calls) and tool results to the message history
Send the updated history back for the next step
Repeat until the model produces a final response without tool calls
