Granite 2B and Granite 8B are text-only dense LLMs trained on over 12 trillion tokens of data, demonstrated significant improvements over their predecessors in performance and speed in IBM’s initial testing. Granite 8B Instruct now rivals Llama 3.1 8B Instruct across both OpenLLM Leaderboard v1 and OpenLLM Leaderboard v2 benchmarks.

They are designed to support tool-based use cases and support for retrieval augmented generation (RAG), streamlining code generation, translation and bug fixing.

Mixture of Expert (MoE) models for low latency

The 1B and 3B models are the first mixture of experts (MoE) Granite models from IBM designed for low latency usage.

The models are trained on over 10 trillion tokens of data, the Granite MoE models are ideal for deployment in on-device applications or situations requiring instantaneous inference.
