Granite Switch 4.1.1 30B

Granite Switch 4.1.1 30B combines Granite 4.1 30B with selectable decision and Guardian adapters. The repository name retains 4.1, while its current card identifies revision 4.1.1.

Model design and training

The system uses control tokens to choose activated LoRA adapters. Its speech component transcribes audio and inserts text into the chat context. It is a modular composition, not a jointly trained audio-language checkpoint. The revision updates the decision adapter.Granite Switch 4.1.1 30B model card

Practical use

Practical guidance. Use the 30B Switch system when the larger text backbone improves your target workflow. Account for the backbone, adapters and speech encoder in deployment capacity. Evaluate each selected mode separately, then review whether the application chooses the correct mode for ambiguous requests.
