granite vision 3.1 2b preview

Granite is a family of open-source large language models developed by IBM, designed for enterprise and research use. Granite models are built to be versatile, safe, and efficient — covering a range of sizes and capabilities from compact edge-deployable models to large-scale reasoning systems. All Granite models are released under the Apache 2.0 license, enabling unrestricted commercial and academic use.

Granite Guardian 4.1 8B introduces improved Bring Your Own Criteria (BYOC) support, enabling users to define arbitrary judging criteria beyond the pre-baked safety and hallucination detectors. The model can now faithfully evaluate complex, multi-part requirements such as formatting rules, length constraints, and domain-specific instructions.

Model Summary: Granite Vision 4.1 4B is a vision-language model (VLM) that delivers frontier-level performance on structured document extraction tasks — chart extraction, table extraction, and semantic key-value pair extraction — in a compact 4B parameter footprint, providing a lightweight alternative to much larger frontier models for these tasks:

Granite-Speech-4.1-2B-Plus has similar capabilities to the Granite-Speech-4.1-2B model. The plus model adds two new community-requested rich transcription features that can be activated with a simple prompt change: speaker-attributed ASR (speaker labels and word transcripts) and word-level timing information. Unlike the base mode, the plus model doesn't provide punctuation and capitalization.

Model Summary: Granite Speech 4.1 2B is a compact and efficient speech-language model, specifically designed for multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) and bidirectional automatic speech translation (AST) for English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.
