--- license: apache-2.0 library_name: transformers tags: - language - granite-4.0 --- # Granite-4.0-H-Tiny **Model Summary:** Granite-4.0-H-Tiny is a 7B parameter long-context instruct model finetuned from *Granite-4.0-H-Tiny-Base* using a combination of open source instruction datasets with permissive license and internally collected synthetic datasets. This model is developed using a diverse set of techniques with a structured chat format, including supervised finetuning, model alignment using reinforcement learning, and model merging. Granite 4.0 instruct models feature improved *instruction following (IF)* and *tool-calling* capabilities, making them more effective in enterprise applications. - **Developers:** Granite Team, IBM - **HF Collection:** [Granite 4.0 Language Models HF Collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/ibm-granite/granite-40-language-models-6811a18b820ef362d9e5a82c) - **GitHub Repository:** [ibm-granite/granite-4.0-language-models](https://github.com/ibm-granite/granite-4.0-language-models) - **Website**: [Granite Docs](https://www.ibm.com/granite/docs/) - **Release Date**: October 2nd, 2025 - **License:** [Apache 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) **Supported Languages:** English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Czech, Italian, Korean, Dutch, and Chinese.

Install the following libraries: ```shell pip install torch torchvision torchaudio pip install accelerate pip install transformers ``` Then, copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your use case. ```python import torch from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer device = "cuda" model_path = "ibm-granite/granite-4.0-h-tiny" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path) # drop device_map if running on CPU model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, device_map=device) model.eval() # change input text as desired chat = [ { "role": "user", "content": "Please list one IBM Research laboratory located in the United States. You should only output its name and location." }, ] chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True) # tokenize the text input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").to(device) # generate output tokens output = model.generate(**input_tokens, max_new_tokens=100) # decode output tokens into text output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output) # print output print(output[0]) ``` Expected output: ```shell <|start_of_role|>user<|end_of_role|>Please list one IBM Research laboratory located in the United States. You should only output its name and location.<|end_of_text|> <|start_of_role|>assistant<|end_of_role|>Almaden Research Center, San Jose, California<|end_of_text|> ``` **Tool-calling:** Granite-4.0-H-Tiny comes with enhanced tool calling capabilities, enabling seamless integration with external functions and APIs. To define a list of tools please follow OpenAI's function [definition schema](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling?api-mode=responses#defining-functions). This is an example of how to use Granite-4.0-H-Tiny model tool-calling ability: ```python tools = [ { "type": "function", "function": { "name": "get_current_weather", "description": "Get the current weather for a specified city.", "parameters": { "type": "object", "properties": { "city": { "type": "string", "description": "Name of the city" } }, "required": ["city"] } } } ] # change input text as desired chat = [ { "role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Boston right now?" }, ] chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, \ tokenize=False, \ tools=tools, \ add_generation_prompt=True) # tokenize the text input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").to(device) # generate output tokens output = model.generate(**input_tokens, max_new_tokens=100) # decode output tokens into text output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output) # print output print(output[0]) ``` Expected output: ```shell <|start_of_role|>system<|end_of_role|>You are a helpful assistant with access to the following tools. You may call one or more tools to assist with the user query. You are provided with function signatures within XML tags: {"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_current_weather", "description": "Get the current weather for a specified city.", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"city": {"type": "string", "description": "Name of the city"}}, "required": ["city"]}}} For each tool call, return a json object with function name and arguments within XML tags: {"name": , "arguments": } . If a tool does not exist in the provided list of tools, notify the user that you do not have the ability to fulfill the request.<|end_of_text|> <|start_of_role|>user<|end_of_role|>What's the weather like in Boston right now?<|end_of_text|> <|start_of_role|>assistant<|end_of_role|> {"name": "get_current_weather", "arguments": {"city": "Boston"}} <|end_of_text|> ``` **Evaluation Results:** *Coming soon* **Model Architecture:** Granite-4.0-H-Tiny baseline is built on a decoder-only MoE transformer architecture. Core components of this architecture are: GQA, Mamba2, MoEs with shared experts, SwiGLU activation, RMSNorm, and shared input/output embeddings.

**Training Data:** Overall, our SFT data is largely comprised of three key sources: (1) publicly available datasets with permissive license, (2) internal synthetic data targeting specific capabilities, and (3) a select set of human-curated data. **Infrastructure:** We trained the Granite 4.0 Language Models utilizing an NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 cluster hosted in CoreWeave. Intra-rack communication occurs via the 72-GPU NVLink domain, and a non-blocking, full Fat-Tree NDR 400 Gb/s InfiniBand network provides inter-rack communication. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over thousands of GPUs. **Ethical Considerations and Limitations:** Granite 4.0 Instruction Models are primarily finetuned using instruction-response pairs mostly in English, but also multilingual data covering multiple languages. Although this model can handle multilingual dialog use cases, its performance might not be similar to English tasks. In such case, introducing a small number of examples (few-shot) can help the model in generating more accurate outputs. While this model has been aligned by keeping safety in consideration, the model may in some cases produce inaccurate, biased, or unsafe responses to user prompts. So we urge the community to use this model with proper safety testing and tuning tailored for their specific tasks. **Resources** - ⭐️ Learn about the latest updates with Granite: https://www.ibm.com/granite - 📄 Get started with tutorials, best practices, and prompt engineering advice: https://www.ibm.com/granite/docs/ - 💡 Learn about the latest Granite learning resources: https://ibm.biz/granite-learning-resources
