IBM Granite

Granite 4.0 instruct models deliver strong performance across benchmarks, achieving industry-leading results in key agentic tasks like instruction following and function calling. These efficiencies make the models well-suited for a wide range of use cases like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multi-agent workflows, and edge deployments.

Granite 4.2 8B is the mid-size dense reasoning model in IBM's Granite 4.2 family, with full, low-effort, and non-thinking modes, tool calling, and a 131K-token context window.
