# Trinity-Large-Thinking-NVFP4

## 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, post-trained with extended chain-of-thought reasoning and agentic RL.

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

For full model details, benchmarks, and usage guidance, see the main [Trinity-Large-Thinking](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Thinking) model card.

## Quantization Details

- **Scheme:** NVFP4 (`nvfp4_experts_only` — MoE expert weights only, attention and dense layers remain BF16)
- **Tool:** [NVIDIA ModelOpt](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer)
- **Calibration:** 2048 samples, seq_length=4096
- **KV cache:** Not quantized

## Usage

### Inference tested on

- Both Hopper (via Marlin) and Blackwell B300 node
- vLLM 0.18.0+

### vLLM

Requires [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) >= 0.18.0. Native FP4 compute requires Blackwell GPUs; older GPUs fall back to Marlin weight decompression automatically.

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

```bash
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-Thinking-NVFP4 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
  --max-model-len 8192 \
  --enable-reasoning \
  --reasoning-parser deepseek_r1 \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
```

#### Hopper GPUs (H100/H200) and others

```bash
vllm serve arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Thinking-NVFP4 \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
  --max-model-len 8192 \
  --enable-reasoning \
  --reasoning-parser deepseek_r1 \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
```

> **Note (For 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:
>
> ```bash
> export VLLM_NVFP4_GEMM_BACKEND=marlin
>
> vllm serve arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Thinking-NVFP4 \
>   --trust-remote-code \
>   --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
>   --moe-backend marlin \
>   --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
>   --max-model-len 8192 \
>   --enable-reasoning \
>   --reasoning-parser deepseek_r1 \
>   --enable-auto-tool-choice \
>   --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder
> ```
>
> 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.

### Transformers

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "arcee-ai/Trinity-Large-Thinking-NVFP4"
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=4096, do_sample=True, temperature=0.3, top_p=0.95)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

### API

Works out of the box on [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/) as `arcee-ai/trinity-large-thinking`.
