Granite 4.0 models

Granite 4.0 models are finetuned from their base models using a combination of open source instruction datasets with permissive license and internally collected synthetic datasets. They feature improved instruction following (IF) and tool-calling capabilities, making them more effective in enterprise applications.

Please Note: our micro model is an alternative option for users when mamba-2 support is not yet optimized.
