IBM drops open-weight Granite 4.2 with agentic capabilities
IBM releases Granite 4.2 open-weight models in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes under Apache 2.0, trained on 15 trillion tokens with up to 512k context and agentic RL-based tool use.
IBM is releasing its Granite 4.2 language models in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes, trained on about 15 trillion tokens with a context window of up to 512,000 tokens. The larger models use "agentic RL" training to learn tool use and code execution on their own.
All models are available under the Apache 2.0 license. The article IBM drops open-weight Granite 4.2 family with built-in agentic capabilities under Apache 2.0 appeared first on The Decoder.
