How to use ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b")
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages) # Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMultimodalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b")
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
add_generation_prompt=True,
tokenize=True,
return_dict=True,
return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
