Arcee AI

aid: arcee-ai
name: Arcee AI
description: Arcee AI is an American open-intelligence research lab that builds and releases small, efficient open-weight
  language models (the Trinity family, AFM-4.5B, and Virtuoso/Maestro derivatives) along with a developer platform for running
  them. The Arcee Platform exposes an OpenAI-compatible inference API at api.arcee.ai (chat completions, model listing, and
  usage/credits endpoints) secured with bearer API keys, plus Arcee Conductor (model routing), Arcee Orchestra (agentic workflows
  with their own invocation API), and AnyMCP for hosting Model Context Protocol servers. Arcee also maintains widely used
  open-source model tooling including mergekit, DistillKit, and DALM. Models can be consumed through the hosted API or self-deployed
  on vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, and Ollama.

  description: OpenAI-compatible inference API for Arcee's open-weight models. Provides chat completions (streaming, function
    calling, structured outputs, reasoning traces), a model catalog endpoint, and usage/credits reporting, plus the full Arcee
    Platform surface (chats, prompts, RAG over data groups, files, API key management, organizations, and billing). Secured
    with bearer API keys created in the Arcee Platform dashboard.
