Side-by-side comparison of IBM Granite 4.1 30B (IBM · USA) and Hy-MT2-30B-A3B (Tencent) for self-hosted deployment of the open-weight model. IBM Granite 4.1 30B is rated EU-ready; Hy-MT2-30B-A3B is conditional. They part ways on training data: IBM Granite 4.1 30B is "Disclosed", Hy-MT2-30B-A3B is "Undisclosed".

| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready Per the published model card, Granite 4.1 30B is an Apache 2.0 30-billion-parameter dense decoder with a 131k-token context, trained on the same publicly-available + synthetic + human-curated mix that anchors the rest of the Granite family. The larger sibling of Granite 4.1 8B, positioned for enterprise workloads where the 8B class falls short on reasoning depth — same defensible-default profile, with IP indemnification available via watsonx. | Conditional Per the published Apache 2.0 LICENSE, the Hunyuan-MT2 30B-A3B weights are deployable without commercial restriction — this is a specialised fast-thinking translation model covering 36 languages, not a general-purpose chat backbone. The blockers for regulated EU use are Tencent's Chinese jurisdiction and a model card that names no training corpora; self-host the weights and prepare a deployer-side GPAI compliance file before processing personal data. |
