Open-weight model developer Arcee AI reaches $1B-plus valuation with new funding

San Francisco-based open-weight AI model developer Arcee AI Inc. has raised an undisclosed amount of cash in a new funding round, bringing its valuation to over $1 billion. The Series B round was led by Vista Equity Partners, Cambium Capital, and Emergence Capital, with participation from A10 Ventures, Hitachi, IAG, Microsoft Corp.’s M12, P7, and AI consultancy firm Wipro Ltd.

With the Trinity family of models, Arcee has developed powerful models with 400 billion parameters, all while maintaining a much lower cost than its closed-source counterparts.
