Arcee aims to reboot U.S. open source AI with new Trinity models released under Apache 2.0

For much of 2025, the frontier of open-weight language models has been defined not in Silicon Valley or New York City, but in Beijing and Hangzhou. Chinese research labs including Alibaba’s Qwen, DeepSeek, Moonshot and Baidu have rapidly set the pace in developing large-scale, open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models — often with permissive licenses and leading …
