About Granite 3.1 8B

IBM's Granite 3.1 8B is targeted at enterprise code, RAG, and tool-use workloads, with explicit IP-clean training data and an indemnification offer for IBM customers. Apache-2.0 licensed, with strong tooling integration into IBM's watsonx platform.

For regulated industries that need clean training-data provenance, Granite is one of the few open-weight options shipped by a major vendor that explicitly markets that property.
