📝 Read the launch blog: Granite Switch 4.1: Chat, Decisions, and Speech from One Endpoint
Model Summary: Granite Switch 4.1 30B is a modular LLM that composes a base model, multiple adapters and an encoder together so that a single hosted endpoint can move between natural-language responses, general and specialized decisions, and speech-to-text.
Adapters are activated on demand via control tokens in the chat template. For full details on model composition and adapter configuration, see BUILD.md.
- Base Model: ibm-granite/granite-4.1-30b (30B params, 128K context)
- Adapters: 2 — decision (aLoRA, general-purpose Decisions) and guardian-core (aLoRA, from granitelib-guardian-r1.0)
- Audio: embedded speech-to-text via ibm-granite/granite-speech-5.0-470m-turboctc (470M params, English)
- License: Apache 2.0
- Release Date: October 14, 2026
- Backends: HuggingFace Transformers, vLLM
