Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview

Model Summary: Granite-4-Tiny-Preview is a 7B parameter fine-grained hybrid mixture-of-experts (MoE) instruct model finetuned from Granite-4.0-Tiny-Base-Preview using a combination of open source instruction datasets with permissive license and internally collected synthetic datasets tailored for solving long context problems. This model is developed using a diverse set of techniques with a structured chat format, including supervised finetuning, and model alignment using reinforcement learning.

• Developers: Granite Team, IBM
• Website: Granite Docs
• Release Date: May 2nd, 2025
• License: Apache 2.0

Supported Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Czech, Italian, Korean, Dutch, and Chinese. However, users may finetune this Granite model for languages beyond these 12 languages.

Intended Use: This model is designed to handle general instruction-following tasks and can be integrated into AI assistants across various domains, including business applications.

Capabilities

• Thinking
• Summarization
• Text classification
• Text extraction
• Question-answering
• Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Code related tasks
• Function-calling tasks

Generation: After installation, copy the code snippet below to run the example.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, set_seed
import torch

model_path="ibm-granite/granite-4.0-tiny-preview"
device="cuda"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        model_path,
        device_map=device,
        torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    )
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
        model_path
)

conv = [{"role": "user", "content":"You have 10 liters of a 30% acid solution. How many liters of a 70% acid solution must be added to achieve a 50% acid mixture?"}]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(conv, return_tensors="pt", thinking=True, return_dict=True, add_generation_prompt=True).to(device)

set_seed(42)
output = model.generate(
    **input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=8192,
)

prediction = tokenizer.decode(output[0, input_ids["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(prediction)

Evaluation Results:

Training Data: Overall, our training data is largely comprised of two key sources: (1) publicly available datasets with permissive license, (2) internal synthetically generated data targeted to enhance reasoning capabilites.

Infrastructure: We train Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview using IBM's super computing cluster, Blue Vela, which is outfitted with NVIDIA H100 GPUs. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over thousands of GPUs.

Ethical Considerations and Limitations: Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview, leverages both permissively licensed open-source and select proprietary data for enhanced performance. Since it inherits its foundation from the previous model, all ethical considerations and limitations applicable to Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview remain relevant.
