Granite-3.1-3B-A800M-Base

Model Summary: Granite-3.1-3B-A800M-Base extends the context length of Granite-3.0-3B-A800M-Base from 4K to 128K using a progressive training strategy by increasing the supported context length in increments while adjusting RoPE theta until the model has successfully adapted to desired length of 128K. This long-context pre-training stage was performed using approximately 500B tokens.

• Developers: Granite Team, IBM
• GitHub Repository: ibm-granite/granite-3.1-language-models
• Website: Granite Docs
• Paper: Granite 3.1 Language Models (coming soon)
• Release Date: December 18th, 2024
• License: Apache 2.0

Supported Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Czech, Italian, Korean, Dutch, and Chinese. Users may finetune Granite 3.1 models for languages beyond these 12 languages.

Intended Use: Prominent use cases of LLMs in text-to-text generation include summarization, text classification, extraction, question-answering, and more. All Granite Base models are able to handle these tasks as they were trained on a large amount of data from various domains. Moreover, they can serve as baseline to create specialized models for specific application scenarios.

Generation: This is a simple example of how to use Granite-3.1-3B-A800M-Base model.

Install the following libraries:

pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
pip install accelerate
pip install transformers

Then, copy the code snippet below to run the example.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
device = "auto"
model_path = "ibm-granite/granite-3.1-3b-a800m-base"
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
input_text = "Where is the Thomas J. Watson Research Center located?"
# tokenize the text
input_tokens = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
# generate output tokens
output = model.generate(**input_tokens,
                        max_length=4000)
# decode output tokens into text
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output)
# print output
print(output)

Training Data: This model is trained on a mix of open source and proprietary data following a two-stage training strategy.

• Stage 1 data: The data for stage 1 is sourced from diverse domains, such as: web, code, academic sources, books, and math data.
• Stage 2 data: The data for stage 2 comprises a curated mix of high-quality data from the same domains, plus multilingual and instruction data. The goal of this second training phase is to enhance the model’s performance on specific tasks.
• Stage 3 data: The data for stage 3 consists of original stage-2 pretraining data with additional synthetic long-context data in form of QA/summary pairs where the answer contains a recitation of the related paragraph before the answer.

A detailed attribution of datasets can be found in the Granite 3.0 Technical Report, Granite 3.1 Technical Report (coming soon), and Accompanying Author List.

Infrastructure: We train Granite 3.1 Language Models using IBM's super computing cluster, Blue Vela, which is outfitted with NVIDIA H100 GPUs. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over thousands of GPUs.

Ethical Considerations and Limitations: The use of Large Language Models involves risks and ethical considerations people must be aware of, including but not limited to: bias and fairness, misinformation, and autonomous decision-making. Granite-3.1-3B-A800M-Base model is not the exception in this regard. Even though this model is suited for multiple generative AI tasks, it has not undergone any safety alignment, there it may produce problematic outputs. Additionally, it remains uncertain whether smaller models might exhibit increased susceptibility to hallucination in generation scenarios by copying text verbatim from the training dataset due to their reduced sizes and memorization capacities. This aspect is currently an active area of research, and we anticipate more rigorous exploration, comprehension, and mitigations in this domain. Regarding ethics, a latent risk associated with all Large Language Models is their malicious utilization. We urge the community to use Granite-3.1-3B-A800M-Base model with ethical intentions and in a responsible way.

<span id="testllm" style="color: #7F7FFF;">🚀 If you find these models useful</span>

Help me test my AI-Powered Quantum Network Monitor Assistant with quantum-ready security checks:

👉 Quantum Network Monitor

The full Open Source Code for the Quantum Network Monitor Service available at my github repos ( repos with NetworkMonitor in the name) : Source Code Quantum Network Monitor. You will also find the code I use to quantize the models if you want to do it yourself GGUFModelBuilder

💬 How to test:
Choose an AI assistant type:

• TurboLLM (GPT-4.1-mini)
• HugLLM (Hugginface Open-source models)
• TestLLM (Experimental CPU-only)

What I’m Testing

I’m pushing the limits of small open-source models for AI network monitoring, specifically:

• Function calling against live network services
• How small can a model go while still handling:
  • Automated Nmap security scans
  • Quantum-readiness checks
  • Network Monitoring tasks

🟡 TestLLM – Current experimental model (llama.cpp on 2 CPU threads on huggingface docker space):

• ✅ Zero-configuration setup
• ⏳ 30s load time (slow inference but no API costs) . No token limited as the cost is low.
• 🔧 Help wanted! If you’re into edge-device AI, let’s collaborate!

Other Assistants

🟢 TurboLLM – Uses gpt-4.1-mini :

• **It performs very well but unfortunatly OpenAI charges per token. For this reason tokens usage is limited.
• Create custom cmd processors to run .net code on Quantum Network Monitor Agents
• Real-time network diagnostics and monitoring
• Security Audits
• Penetration testing (Nmap/Metasploit)

🔵 HugLLM – Latest Open-source models:

• 🌐 Runs on Hugging Face Inference API. Performs pretty well using the lastest models hosted on Novita.

💡 Example commands you could test:

1. "Give me info on my websites SSL certificate"
2. "Check if my server is using quantum safe encyption for communication"
3. "Run a comprehensive security audit on my server"
4. '"Create a cmd processor to .. (what ever you want)" Note you need to install a Quantum Network Monitor Agent to run the .net code on. This is a very flexible and powerful feature. Use with caution!

Final Word

I fund the servers used to create these model files, run the Quantum Network Monitor service, and pay for inference from Novita and OpenAI—all out of my own pocket. All the code behind the model creation and the Quantum Network Monitor project is open source. Feel free to use whatever you find helpful.

If you appreciate the work, please consider buying me a coffee ☕. Your support helps cover service costs and allows me to raise token limits for everyone.

I'm also open to job opportunities or sponsorship.

Thank you! 😊
