Training Data: Overall, our training data is largely comprised of two key sources: (1) publicly available datasets with permissive license, (2) internal synthetically generated data targeted to enhance reasoning capabilities.

Infrastructure: We train Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview 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: Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview, leverages both permissively licensed open-source and select proprietary data for enhanced performance. Since it inherits its foundation from the previous model, all ethical considerations and limitations applicable to Granite-4.0-Tiny-Preview remain relevant.

Signature verification: Model signing is an experimental feature with ongoing development, which might include breaking changes. We are releasing these capabilities to improve the integrity of our models for our security-conscious users and to facilitate feedback from the community.

Before trying to verify the signature, ensure that the tensor files have been downloaded with git-lfs and that no files have been added, removed, or modified in your local git checkout:

  git lfs fetch --all
  git lfs pull
  git lfs checkout

Install the model_signing (v1.0.1) library with the following command:

   pip install 'model-signing==v1.1.1'

Then verify the signature with the following command ensuring that the IBM identity '[email protected]' was used for signing this model:

   python -m model_signing verify sigstore \
     --signature model.sig \
     --ignore-paths .git \
     --ignore-paths .gitattributes \
     --identity [email protected] \
     --identity_provider https://sigstore.verify.ibm.com/oauth2 \
     .
