IBM releases open-weight Granite 4.2 models in three sizes

IBM released its Granite 4.2 language models in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes, trained on about 15 trillion tokens with a context window of up to 512,000 tokens. The larger models use agentic RL training to learn tool use and code execution, and all models are available under the Apache 2.0 license.
