Granite is a family of open-source large language models developed by IBM, designed for enterprise and research use. Granite models are built to be versatile, safe, and efficient — covering a range of sizes and capabilities from compact edge-deployable models to large-scale reasoning systems. All Granite models are released under the Apache 2.0 license, enabling unrestricted commercial and academic use. The Granite 4.2 generation introduces native reasoning (thinking) capabilities, allowing models to perform step-by-step chain-of-thought reasoning before producing final answers. This significantly improves performance on complex math, coding, multi-step logic, and agentic tool-calling tasks. **Granite-4.2-3B** is the compact reasoning model in the Granite 4.2 family. Despite its small parameter count, it delivers strong performance on reasoning-intensive tasks by leveraging built-in ` ... ` chain-of-thought. It supports flexible thinking modes — full thinking (default), non-thinking, and low-effort — allowing users to balance depth vs. latency on a per-query basis.
