Preview

The IBM Granite model series marks a strategic step by IBM toward open AI, providing enterprise clients with transparent and dependable tools. Unlike many “black-box” models, Granite is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, granting companies full control over deployment—either in the cloud or on-premise. The family includes models of varying sizes, from compact (a few billion parameters) to large, enabling optimal selection for tasks ranging from fast chatbots to complex analytics. IBM highlights that the training data was carefully curated from trusted sources, reducing bias and hallucination risks. Granite models are a core component of the watsonx.ai platform, where they can be accessed, fine-tuned, and securely deployed in production environments.
