The model cards describe each one as a modular model that composes a base model (granite-4.1-8b or granite-4.1-30b), multiple adapters, and an encoder so that chat, decision, safety-detection, and speech-to-text tasks are served from one endpoint. A Granite blog post on Hugging Face dated October 15, 2026 names the bundled parts as a Decision aLoRA, a Guardian aLoRA, and Granite-Speech-5.0-Turbo-CTC; the 8b model card says the speech component supports English only. USASI has not tested these models. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/ibm-releases-granite-time-series-patchtst-fm-r2/ https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/ibm-releases-granite-time-series-patchtst-fm-r2/ Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT release On September 9, 2026 IBM Research announced Granite Time Series PatchTST-FM-r2, a zero-shot forecasting model of about 385M parameters that succeeds PatchTST-FM-r1 in the Granite TSFM family. The announcement lists a context length of up to 8,192 steps, flexible forecast lengths, and probabilistic forecasts from a 99-quantile prediction head. The weights are on Hugging Face and the code is in the granite-tsfm repository, and the model is dual-licensed under Apache 2.0 and OpenMDW 1.0, with either license available to choose. USASI has not tested the model. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/ibm-releases-granite-speech-5-0-turboctc/ https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/ibm-releases-granite-speech-5-0-turboctc/ Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT release On August 25, 2026 IBM's Granite team announced two 470M-parameter English speech recognition models on Hugging Face, granite-speech-5.0-470m-turboctc and granite-speech-5.0-470m-turboctc-nc. The first is released under Apache 2.0; the second, trained with additional data including GigaSpeech and SPGI Speech, is under the non-commercial CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 license. IBM describes an encoder-only design with 16 Conformer blocks trained with CTC loss, and says that, unlike earlier Granite Speech models, which included an LLM with LoRA adapters, the new models lack capabilities such as speech translation and keyword biasing. USASI has not tested either model. https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/ibm-releases-granite-4-2/ https://unitedstatesofamericasuperintelligence.com/news/ibm-releases-granite-4-2/ Tue, 29 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT release IBM released Granite 4.2 on August 25, 2026: dense, decoder-only language models with built-in reasoning in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes, post-trained from IBM's own Granite 4.1 base models. The weights are published on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license. The catalog has a release record for each size under the Granite family.
