Granite-4.0-Micro: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
Granite 4.0 is a family of open language models from IBM designed for enterprise AI workloads including code generation, summarization, and retrieval-augmented generation.
This is based on the implementation of Granite-4.0-Micro found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.
Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

See our repository for Granite-4.0-Micro on GitHub for usage instructions.
Model Details
Model Type: Model_use_case.text_generation
Model Stats:
- Model architecture: Mamba-2 Hybrid architecture combining State Space Model (SSM) layers with Attention layers for efficient long-context processing.
- Response Rate: Rate of response generation after the first response token.
- Supported languages: English
- TTFT: Time To First Token is the time it takes to generate the first response token. This is expressed as a range because it varies based on the length of the prompt.
