Granite 3.0 Language Models

This repository introduces Granite 3.0 language models as lightweight, state-of-the-art open foundation models built to natively support multilinguality, coding, reasoning, and tool usage. A central goal is efficient deployment, including the potential to run on constrained compute resources while remaining useful for a broad span of enterprise tasks. The repo positions the models for both research and commercial use under an Apache-2.0 license, signaling permissive adoption paths. Documentation highlights the capability mix (reasoning, tool use, code) and points to model artifacts and guidance for evaluation. Activity on the project shows an evolving codebase with open pull requests and standard GitHub project structure for issues and security visibility. In practice, this is a hub for acquiring Granite 3.0 variants and understanding how to integrate them into applications.
