Granite Code Models

Granite Code Models are IBM’s open-source, decoder-only models tailored for code tasks such as fixing bugs, explaining and documenting code, and modernizing codebases. Trained on code from 116 programming languages, the family targets strong performance across diverse benchmarks while remaining accessible to the community. The repository introduces the model lineup, intended uses, and evaluation highlights, and it complements IBM’s broader Granite initiative spanning multiple modalities. IBM’s research blog details the motivation for opening these models and points developers to downloads, papers, and hosting options. Together, the materials position Granite Code as enterprise-friendly, permissively licensed models for practical software engineering assistance. They slot into the larger Granite ecosystem that includes language and time-series models, community cookbooks, and production guidance.
