Our approach to AI models 

Choosing the right model matters to your AI applications, your brand and your bottom line. IBM gives you the freedom to choose from thousands of models from leading providers and select the one that best fits your use case, whether it’s IBM® Granite®, third-party options or your own custom models.

Our open-source models, IBM Granite

Open
Open source under Apache 2.0, Granite ensures transparency, while enabling full customizability and deployment flexibility across any infrastructure.
Performant
The small, high-performing models are designed to maximize efficiency and scalability for essential enterprise tasks.
Trusted
Eliminate the risk of “black box” AI with transparency into training data and processes, harm detection capabilities and built-in guardrails.

Choose your model, then start building

Choosing the right AI model is just the beginning. When paired with the powerful IBM watsonx portfolio, our AI models help you scale and manage AI effectively at every stage of the lifecycle.
