What is the context window of Granite 4.0 Micro?
131,000 tokens of input, and it can write up to 117,900 tokens in one reply. As a rough guide, a million tokens is around 750,000 English words.
Does Granite 4.0 Micro support tool calling?
Not through the standard tools parameter. For an agent that calls your APIs, pick a model from the alternatives below that does.
Is Granite 4.0 Micro open source?
No. IBM serves it through an API only, so you cannot download the weights or host it yourself.
When was Granite 4.0 Micro released?
Oct 20, 2025.
Catalog data from models.dev (MIT licensed), refreshed daily, last on Oct 15, 2026. The summary is written from these facts.
Building on Granite 4.0 Micro?
I test your real tasks on it and the two closest alternatives, then ship the agent on whichever wins on cost and accuracy.
