IBM-Granite-v3.1-8B-Instruct

State‑of‑the‑art large language model useful on a variety of code understanding and generation tasks.

Granite‑3.1‑8B‑Instruct is a 8B parameter long‑context instruct model finetuned from Granite‑3.1‑8B‑Base 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, model alignment using reinforcement learning, and model merging.
