Instructions to use ibm-granite/granite-4.0-350m with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use ibm-granite/granite-4.0-350m with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="ibm-granite/granite-4.0-350m")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ibm-granite/granite-4.0-350m")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ibm-granite/granite-4.0-350m", device_map="auto")
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]:]))

Android + OpenCL implementation — runs on-device on non-flagship phones (Adreno 6xx)

Hi! I wanted to share an Android + OpenCL implementation of Granite-4.0-350M, in case anyone wants to run it on a phone:

Try it: Edgi on Google Play — runs fully on-device, no cloud.
Open source: the app is built on top of the open-source adreno-llms inference engine — https://github.com/a8nova/adreno-llms — pure C++/OpenCL with hand-written kernels tuned for Adreno.

It's tuned and tested on Adreno 6xx GPUs — the GPU class in mid-range and older Android phones (verified on a 2020 Motorola Razr / Adreno 620) — and should run on most arm64 Android phones with OpenCL, though the optimizations are Adreno-specific. On the Adreno 620 it decodes at ~10.2 tok/s in fp16, ~71% of the measured bandwidth ceiling.

Hope it's useful — happy to answer questions!
