IBMGranite 4.1 30B
Granite 4.1 30B is an IBM open-weights model, released 29 Apr 2026. Its best configuration ranks #673 of 785 on the BenchLeader Index at 39.8 ±5.6, in the lower half. The ± is the point: 281 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in instruction following (47) and lowest in coding (21). Last measured 29 Apr 2026.

Versions
IBM has shipped 2 models under this name. Each is ranked on its own results; a newer version often has fewer results so far, which holds its index nearer the average until more arrive.

How its index has moved
9 Sept 2026 to 21 Oct 2026The index is recomputed from scratch every day, so a line moves when a new benchmark result lands, when a publisher revises a score, or when the models it is normalised against change. Early movement usually means the score is still settling.
