stochasticchasm · x · 2026-07-31
The Loka team, in collaboration with PrimeIntellect and AWS, has post-trained Arcee AI's 26B parameter model, Trinity Mini, transforming it into an agentic harness specialized for scientific work.
The specialized agent can execute multi-step research workflows, coordinate various tools, query databases, and maintain an auditable trail at every step. This demonstrates how post-training can empower a 9-month-old model to achieve impressive results within a specific agentic framework.
