help IBM Granite Code FAQ

What can IBM Granite Code do inside Continue or VS Code?

Granite Code models can generate, explain, translate, document, and repair code through an AI coding interface such as Continue. Continue can use them for chat and code assistance when connected through a compatible provider such as Ollama or IBM watsonx.

Can IBM Granite Code run locally without sending source code to a cloud service?

Yes, compatible Granite models can be downloaded and served locally with software such as Ollama, then connected to Continue in VS Code. Local operation keeps prompts on the user's machine, although the hardware must have enough memory for the chosen model.

Which sizes were released in the original IBM Granite Code family?

IBM released the original Granite Code family in 3B, 8B, 20B, and 34B parameter sizes, with both base and instruction-tuned variants. Smaller models demand fewer computing resources, while larger models generally require substantially more RAM or GPU memory.

Can IBM Granite Code be used in a commercial project?

The original Granite Code model repositories were released under the Apache 2.0 license, which permits commercial use subject to the license terms. Teams should still verify the license for the exact model version they download, since the Granite family has expanded over time.
