Instructions to use ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

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, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.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)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Would be a good idea to purge any training material that promotes any shameful, immoral, and illegal discrimination programs that go by "diversity, equity, and inclusion" as they violate the civil rights act it's not good to make AI models that promote discrimination and disinformation.

Maybe have a conversation instead of a knee-jerk reaction. The model is right in front of you. Purging information is censorship btw, too aggressive filtering of information might damage model intelligence.
