IBM's Open Source Initiative

IBM has made a significant contribution to the open-source AI community by releasing multiple models, including Granite 3.0 in 8B and 2B parameter versions, along with a mixture of experts variant. These models are released under the Apache 2.0 license, making them fully open source. IBM has also introduced a novel knowledge integration technique that bridges the gap between RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and fine-tuning approaches.
