Granite 4.0 H Tiny

Granite 4.0 H Tiny is the small sibling of IBM's Granite 4.0 hybrid family, released October 2025 alongside the Small, Micro, and Nano variants. It carries 7B total parameters with 1B active per token, using the same Mamba-2 state-space plus transformer hybrid architecture as the larger H models. IBM positions it for high-volume, low-complexity enterprise jobs where inference cost dominates.

Like the rest of the Granite 4.0 generation it is released under Apache 2.0 with signed checkpoints, and IBM reports the hybrid design delivers large memory savings on long inputs and concurrent batches. It runs natively on vLLM, llama.cpp, and MLX, making it a practical open option for cost-sensitive deployments.
