The Surprising Effectiveness of Shared Memory in Looped Transformers
Giovanni Monea, Keshav Ramji, Yousef El-Kurdi +4
Looped Transformers apply the same layers several times per token, adding compute to improve quality without more parameters. Each recursion, however, writes its own key-value cach…
Granite Embedding Multilingual R2 Models
Parul Awasthy, Aashka Trivedi, Yushu Yang +14
We introduce the multilingual Granite Embedding R2 models, a family of encoder-based embedding models for enterprise-scale dense retrieval across 200+ languages. Extending our Engl…
ChartNet: A Million-Scale, High-Quality Multimodal Dataset for Robust Chart Understanding
Jovana Kondic, Pengyuan Li, Dhiraj Joshi +24
Understanding charts requires models to jointly reason over geometric visual patterns, structured numerical data, and natural language -- a capability where current vision-language…
Self-Speculative Decoding for LLM-based ASR with CTC Encoder Drafts
George Saon, Samuel Thomas, Takashi Fukuda +3
We propose self-speculative decoding for speech-aware LLMs by using the CTC encoder as a draft model to accelerate auto-regressive (AR) inference and improve ASR accuracy. Our thre…
ToolRM: Outcome Reward Models for Tool-Calling Large Language Models
Mayank Agarwal, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Kinjal Basu +4
As large language models (LLMs) increasingly interact with external tools, reward modeling for tool use has emerged as a critical yet underexplored area of research. Existing rewar…
Granite-speech: open-source speech-aware LLMs with strong English ASR capabilities
George Saon, Avihu Dekel, Alexander Brooks +21
Granite-speech LLMs are compact and efficient speech language models specifically designed for English ASR and automatic speech translation (AST). The models were trained by modali…
Putting It All into Context: Simplifying Agents with LCLMs
Mingjian Jiang, Yangjun Ruan, Luis Lastras +2
Recent advances in language model (LM) agents have demonstrated significant potential for automating complex real-world tasks. To make progress on these difficult tasks, LM agent a…
Activated LoRA: Fine-tuned LLMs for Intrinsics
Kristjan Greenewald, Luis Lastras, Thomas Parnell +6
Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has emerged as a highly efficient framework for finetuning the weights of large foundation models, and has become the go-to method for data-driven custom…
A Library of LLM Intrinsics for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Marina Danilevsky, Kristjan Greenewald, Chulaka Gunasekara +13
In the developer community for large language models (LLMs), there is not yet a clean pattern analogous to a software library, to support very large scale collaboration. Even for t…
Granite Embedding Models
Parul Awasthy, Aashka Trivedi, Yulong Li +19
We introduce the Granite Embedding models, a family of encoder-based embedding models designed for retrieval tasks, spanning dense-retrieval and sparse retrieval architectures, wit…
Granite Vision: a lightweight, open-source multimodal model for enterprise Intelligence
Granite Vision Team, Leonid Karlinsky, Assaf Arbelle +60
We introduce Granite Vision, a lightweight large language model with vision capabilities, specifically designed to excel in enterprise use cases, particularly in visual document un…
A Non-autoregressive Model for Joint STT and TTS
Vishal Sunder, Brian Kingsbury, George Saon +5
In this paper, we take a step towards jointly modeling automatic speech recognition (STT) and speech synthesis (TTS) in a fully non-autoregressive way. We develop a novel multimoda…
NESTFUL: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs on Nested Sequences of API Calls
Kinjal Basu, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Kiran Kate +10
The resurgence of autonomous agents built using large language models (LLMs) to solve complex real-world tasks has brought increased focus on LLMs' fundamental ability of tool or f…
Granite-Function Calling Model: Introducing Function Calling Abilities via Multi-task Learning of Granular Tasks
Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Kinjal Basu, Mayank Agarwal +23
Large language models (LLMs) have recently shown tremendous promise in serving as the backbone to agentic systems, as demonstrated by their performance in multi-faceted, challengin…
API-BLEND: A Comprehensive Corpora for Training and Benchmarking API LLMs
Kinjal Basu, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Subhajit Chaudhury +7
There is a growing need for Large Language Models (LLMs) to effectively use tools and external Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to plan and complete tasks. As such, there…
Formally Specifying the High-Level Behavior of LLM-Based Agents
Maxwell Crouse, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Ramon Astudillo +7
Autonomous, goal-driven agents powered by LLMs have recently emerged as promising tools for solving challenging problems without the need for task-specific finetuned models that ca…
