Overview
The IBM Granite 3.1 2B Instruct is a 2-billion parameter language model optimized for long-context tasks. It is fine-tuned from Granite-3.1-2B-Base using open-source instruction datasets and internally generated synthetic data. It employs structured chat formats, supervised finetuning, reinforcement learning for model alignment, and model merging techniques. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it supports 12 languages, including English, German, French, and Chinese, with extensibility for others. The model is designed to respond to general instructions and can be used to build AI assistants for multiple domains, including business applications. It excels in summarization, text classification, extraction, QA, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), code-related tasks, function-calling, and multilingual dialogues. It excels in long-context processing, including long-document and meeting summarization, as well as question-answering, making it well-suited for enterprise and research use.
Highlights
- The IBM Granite 3.1 models rank among the highest open models in its weight class on the Hugging Face OpenLLM Leaderboard. Additionally, the entire Granite 3.1 family—including dense, MoE, and guardrail models—now supports a 128K token context length, enabling more extensive input handling and better long-range understanding.
- The IBM Granite 3.1 models are developed under IBM's AI Ethics principles, using high-quality data to ensure ethical AI use, and are licensed under Apache 2.0 for both research and commercial purposes.
- The IBM Granite 3.1 models support 12 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and more, with the option to fine-tune for additional languages. Designed for general instruction-following, the models are well-suited for building AI assistants across multiple domains, including business applications.
