How Granite and Open-Source Models Support Modular Enterprise AI

Smaller, specialized Open Source models are growing in popularity, providing a more private, cost-effective, and customizable alternative to cloud-based AI solutions. In this session we'll discuss the benefits of Open Source models, using the Granite models as an example of a family of specialty-built smaller models for enterprises. Then we'll highlight Open Source AI and LLM tools that can be installed and run locally on your laptop or via Google Colab.
