# Open4bits / Granite 4.0 H Tiny FP16
This repository provides the **Granite 4.0 H Tiny model converted to FP16 (float16) precision**, published by Open4bits for more efficient inference while preserving the original model behavior.
The underlying Granite model architecture and weights are **owned by IBM**. This repository contains only a precision-converted version of the original model.
The model is suitable for general-purpose text generation tasks and lightweight language model experimentation.
---
## Model Overview
Granite is a family of transformer-based language models developed by IBM, designed for efficient and scalable natural language processing tasks.
This release uses the **Granite 4.0 H Tiny** variant, focusing on lower memory usage and faster inference while maintaining architectural fidelity to the original model.
---
## Model Details
- **Architecture:** Granite 4.0 H Tiny
- **Precision:** float16 (FP16)
- **Task:** Text Generation
- **Weight tying:** Preserved
- **Compatibility:** Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch
The FP16 conversion reduces VRAM requirements and improves inference speed compared to FP32 versions, making the model suitable for deployment on resource-constrained hardware.
---
## Intended Use
This model is intended for:
- Text generation and completion
- Research and experimentation
- Lightweight inference workloads
- Prototyping and benchmarking language models
---
## Limitations
* Inherits limitations of the Granite Tiny architecture
* Output quality may be lower than larger Granite variants
* Not fine-tuned for domain-specific or instruction-following tasks
---
## License
This model is released under the **Apache License 2.0**.
The original Granite model and associated intellectual property are owned by IBM.
