About Arcee AI

When we founded Arcee AI in late 2023, we had one goal: to make world-class small language models (SLMs) available to companies across all industries.

This vision was based on our firm belief that only SLMs could offer the domain-specificity, efficiency, scalability, and security necessary for enterprise AI.

We were certain that where large language models (LLMs) fall short, SLMs would thrive–and we’re happy to say that the market agrees with us: SLMs quickly emerged as the logical alternative to LLMs.

Our Story

Arcee AI is steered by CEO Mark McQuade and CTO Lucas Atkins, two builders who believe the next breakthrough in AI won’t come from one gargantuan, all‑purpose model, but from an ensemble of lean, task‑tuned language models that collaborate like a well‑orchestrated team.Leveraging Mark’s experience nurturing open‑source communities at Hugging Face and Lucas’s track record designing real‑time ML infrastructure, they’re creating a platform where enterprises can snap together specialized LLM “bricks”—each optimized for a specific function—while keeping complete ownership of their data, latency, and costs.Their mission is simple: empower organizations to mix, match, and evolve these composable models as needs change, delivering sharper accuracy, faster responses, and greater transparency than any monolithic model could achieve on its own.
