Granite Switch 4.1: Chat, Decisions, and Speech from One Endpoint

Granite Switch 4.1 models, introduced as part of the Granite Switch project, offer a modular approach to model development. These models, equipped with a Decision adapter and a fast ASR model, can efficiently handle natural-language responses, general and specialized decisions, and speech-to-text tasks from a single hosted endpoint. In a comparison, Granite-Switch-4.1-30B demonstrated significantly faster completion of a 5-step RAG workflow compared to Jev-27B.

This release introduces Granite Switch 4.1, which integrates chat, decisions, and speech from a single endpoint, unlike previous versions that focused on modular model development.
