Arcee AI selects Fuzzball for portable workload orchestration at frontier scale

Arcee coordinates compute-intensive model-development workloads across cloud and on-premises environments while its team keeps control of its models, data, and training and inference stack.

CIQ and Arcee AI: frontier-scale, portable orchestration

We have built our own training and inference stack because control over the full model lifecycle is fundamental to how Arcee operates.

The story

Arcee AI builds open-weight foundation models end to end, including Trinity Large, a 400-billion-parameter sparse mixture-of-experts model.

Arcee selected Fuzzball to coordinate and place selected compute-intensive workloads across cloud, GPU-provider, and on-premises environments, so its model-development systems stay independent of the underlying compute provider. Arcee’s engineers continue to run the training and inference stack they built. Fuzzball gives them one consistent orchestration layer beneath it, and Arcee retains control of its models, data, and deployment architecture.

Fuzzball gives us an additional orchestration layer for coordinating workloads across heterogeneous compute environments without replacing the systems our team has built.

Lucas Atkins, Chief Technology Officer, Arcee AI

How Fuzzball fits

One orchestration layer underneath the stack Arcee already built, not a replacement for it.

One orchestration layer across three environments.

The same layer coordinates workloads across cloud, GPU-provider, and on-premises infrastructure.

Independence from the compute provider.

Arcee’s model-development systems remain independent of the underlying compute provider.

A clear division of responsibility.

Arcee’s team decides what runs. Fuzzball helps the team manage where and how selected jobs are executed.

Where this goes next

Arcee and CIQ will collaborate to help enterprises, AI labs, and infrastructure providers deploy models on portable infrastructure they control. Arcee brings model development, adaptation, and the training and inference systems it builds and operates itself. CIQ brings Enterprise Linux, cluster management, and workload-orchestration technologies that can help those systems run across a range of compute environments.

About Arcee AI

Arcee AI is a U.S. open-model lab that develops open-weight foundation models end to end, including data preparation, architecture, pretraining, post-training, evaluation, and deployment. Its Trinity family ranges from compact models designed for local use to Trinity Large, a 400-billion-parameter sparse mixture-of-experts model. Arcee builds models that developers, enterprises, and public institutions can run and adapt on infrastructure they control.
