IBM Granite 4.0

We’re launching Granite 4, the next generation of IBM language models. Granite 4.0 features a new hybrid Mamba/transformer architecture that greatly reduces memory requirements without sacrificing performance. They can be run on significantly cheaper GPUs and at significantly reduced costs compared to conventional LLMs.

These new Granite 4.0 offerings, open sourced under a standard Apache 2.0 license, are the world’s first open models to receive ISO 42001 certification and are cryptographically signed, confirming their adherence to internationally recognized best practices for security, governance and transparency.
