Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released February 2025131K context≈ 98,304 words8.2B params

A compact, enterprise-focused text model that punches above its weight class for instruction-following tasks. IBM Granite's 8B variant handles long-context reasoning across its 128K token window, making it capable of processing lengthy documents without losing the thread. Being open-weight under Apache 2.0 means it can be deployed and fine-tuned freely, though its text-only input limits it to purely language-based workflows.

Long Context

Glossary

Fine-TunedA pre-trained model further trained on a smaller, task-specific dataset to improve performance on that task.Instruction-FollowingThe ability of a model to understand and execute specific tasks or commands given in natural language prompts.Long-ContextThe ability of a model to process and understand very long sequences of text while maintaining coherence across distant parts of the input.Long-Context ReasoningThe ability to process and understand very long input texts (thousands of tokens) while maintaining coherent reasoning across the entire passage.ReasoningThe model's ability to work through multi-step logical problems and provide justified answers rather than just pattern-matching.Text ModelA language model that processes and generates only text, without support for images, audio, or other media types.Text-Only InputA model that accepts only written text as input, without support for images, audio, or other data types.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.
