IBM has introduced Granite 4.0 3B Vision, a specialized vision-language model (VLM) engineered for high-fidelity enterprise document data extraction. Unlike monolithic multimodal models, this release uses a modular LoRA adapter architecture, adding approximately 0.5B parameters to the Granite 4.0 Micro base model. This design allows for efficient dual-mode deployment, activating vision capabilities only when multimodal processing is required. The model excels at converting complex visual elements, such as charts and tables, into structured machine-readable formats like JSON, HTML, and CSV. By utilizing a high-resolution tiling mechanism and a DeepStack architecture for improved spatial alignment, Granite 4.0 3B Vision achieves impressive accuracy in tasks like Key-Value Pair extraction and chart reasoning, ranking highly on industry benchmarks.
A new MIT study reveals a significant lack of transparency and safety measures in agentic AI systems, with many offering no disclosure about risks or ways to shut down rogue bots.
IBM’s new foundation model, TSPulse, can go beyond standard forecasting tasks to detect anomalies, fill in missing values, classify data, and search recurring patterns. It’s also tiny enough to run on a laptop.
