Granite-4.0-H-Small
📣 Update [10-07-2025]: Added a default system prompt to the chat template to guide the model towards more professional, accurate, and safe responses.
Model Summary: Granite-4.0-H-Small is a 32B parameter long-context instruct model finetuned from Granite-4.0-H-Small-Base using a combination of open source instruction datasets with permissive license and internally collected synthetic datasets. 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. Granite 4.0 instruct models feature improved instruction following (IF) and tool-calling capabilities, making them more effective in enterprise applications.
- Developers: Granite Team, IBM
- HF Collection: Granite 4.0 Language Models HF Collection
- GitHub Repository: ibm-granite/granite-4.0-language-models
- Website: Granite Docs
- Release Date: October 2nd, 2025
- License: Apache 2.0
Supported Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Czech, Italian, Korean, Dutch, and Chinese. Users may finetune Granite 4.0 models for languages beyond these languages.
Intended use: The model is designed to respond to general instructions and can be used to build AI assistants for multiple domains, including business applications.
Capabilities
- Summarization
- Text classification
- Text extraction
- Question-answering
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Code related tasks
- Function-calling tasks
- Multilingual dialog use cases
- Fill-In-the-Middle (FIM) code completions
Generation: This is a simple example of how to use Granite-4.0-H-Small model.
Install the following libraries:
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
pip install accelerate
pip install transformers
Then, copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your use case.
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
device = "cuda"
model_path = "ibm-granite/granite-4.0-h-small"
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
chat = [
{ "role": "user", "content": "Please list one IBM Research laboratory located in the United States. You should only output its name and location." },
]
chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
# tokenize the text
input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
# generate output tokens
output = model.generate(**input_tokens,
max_new_tokens=100)
# decode output tokens into text
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output)
# print output
print(output[0])
Expected output:
<|start_of_role|>system<|end_of_role|>You are a helpful assistant. Please ensure responses are professional, accurate, and safe.<|end_of_text|>
<|start_of_role|>user<|end_of_role|>Please list one IBM Research laboratory located in the United States. You should only output its name and location.<|end_of_text|>
<|start_of_role|>assistant<|end_of_role|>Almaden Research Center, San Jose, California<|end_of_text|>
Tool-calling: Granite-4.0-H-Small comes with enhanced tool calling capabilities, enabling seamless integration with external functions and APIs. To define a list of tools please follow OpenAI's function definition schema.
This is an example of how to use Granite-4.0-H-Small model tool-calling ability:
tools = [
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "get_current_weather",
"description": "Get the current weather for a specified city.",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"city": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Name of the city"
}
},
"required": ["city"]
}
}
}
]
# change input text as desired
chat = [
{ "role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Boston right now?" },
]
chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, \
tokenize=False, \
tools=tools, \
add_generation_prompt=True)
# tokenize the text
input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
# generate output tokens
output = model.generate(**input_tokens,
max_new_tokens=100)
# decode output tokens into text
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output)
# print output
print(output[0])
Expected output:
<|start_of_role|>system<|end_of_role|>You are a helpful assistant with access to the following tools. You may call one or more tools to assist with the user query.
You are provided with function signatures within <tools></tools> XML tags:
<tools>
{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_current_weather", "description": "Get the current weather for a specified city.", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"city": {"type": "string", "description": "Name of the city"}}, "required": ["city"]}}}
</tools>
For each tool call, return a json object with function name and arguments within <tool_call></tool_call> XML tags:
<tool_call>
{"name": <function-name>, "arguments": <args-json-object>}
</tool_call>. If a tool does not exist in the provided list of tools, notify the user that you do not have the ability to fulfill the request.<|end_of_text|>
<|start_of_role|>user<|end_of_role|>What's the weather like in Boston right now?<|end_of_text|>
<|start_of_role|>assistant<|end_of_role|><tool_call>

Infrastructure: We trained the Granite 4.0 Language Models utilizing an NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 cluster hosted in CoreWeave. Intra-rack communication occurs via the 72-GPU NVLink domain, and a non-blocking, full Fat-Tree NDR 400 Gb/s InfiniBand network provides inter-rack communication. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over thousands of GPUs.
Ethical Considerations and Limitations: Granite 4.0 Instruction Models are primarily finetuned using instruction-response pairs mostly in English, but also multilingual data covering multiple languages. Although this model can handle multilingual dialog use cases, its performance might not be similar to English tasks. In such case, introducing a small number of examples (few-shot) can help the model in generating more accurate outputs. While this model has been aligned by keeping safety in consideration, the model may in some cases produce inaccurate, biased, or unsafe responses to user prompts. So we urge the community to use this model with proper safety testing and tuning tailored for their specific tasks.
