Granite dense models

The IBM Granite 2B and 8B models 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 for retrieval augmented generation (RAG), streamlining code generation, translation and bug fixing.
