| 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. | Blocked Per the Tencent Hy Community License Agreement (Sections 1(l) and 5(c)), the licence's defined Territory excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea, and licensees are expressly prohibited from using, distributing or displaying the model or its outputs outside that Territory. Under those terms the weights are not deployable for EU users or workloads, regardless of architecture quality. |
