# Granite-3.2-8B-Instruct

**Model Summary:**
Granite-3.2-8B-Instruct is an 8-billion-parameter, long-context AI model fine-tuned for thinking capabilities. Built on top of [Granite-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct), it has been trained using a mix of permissively licensed open-source datasets and internally generated synthetic data designed for reasoning tasks. The model allows controllability of its thinking capability, ensuring it is applied only when required.

**Generation:** 
This is a simple example of how to use Granite-3.2-8B-Instruct model.

Install the following libraries:

```shell
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
pip install accelerate
pip install transformers
```
Then, copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your use case.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, set_seed
import torch

model_path="ibm-granite/granite-3.2-8b-instruct"
device="cuda"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        model_path,
        device_map=device,
        torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    )
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
        model_path
)

conv = [{"role": "user", "content":"You have 10 liters of a 30% acid solution. How many liters of a 70% acid solution must be added to achieve a 50% acid mixture?"}]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(conv, return_tensors="pt", thinking=True, return_dict=True, add_generation_prompt=True).to(device)

set_seed(42)
output = model.generate(
    **input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=8192,
)

prediction = tokenizer.decode(output[0, input_ids["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(prediction)
```

Here is my thought process:

1. We know we start with 10 liters of a 30% acid solution, so there's 3 liters of pure acid in it (10 liters * 0.3).
2. We need to determine how much of the 70% acid solution to add such that the final mixture is 50% acid.
3. Let's say x liters of the 70% acid solution are added. This will contribute 0.7x liters of pure acid.
4. The total volume of the new mixture will be 10 + x liters, and the total amount of pure acid will be 3 + 0.7x liters.
5. We need to set up an equation where (3 + 0.7x) / (10 + x) = 0.5 (since we want a 50% acid mixture).
6. Solving this equation for x will give us the volume of 70% solution needed.

Here is my response:

To solve this, we need to set up an equation based on the concentration of acid before and after mixing. 

1. **Initial Acid Content**: 
   - We start with 10 liters of a 30% acid solution. 
   - Pure acid in this = 10 * 0.3 = 3 liters.

2. **Variable for Addition**:
   - Let x be the liters of 70% acid solution to be added.
   - Pure acid in x liters of 70% solution = 0.7x liters.

3. **Final Mixture Concentration**:
   - Total volume of mixture = 10 + x liters.
   - Total pure acid in the mixture = 3 (from initial solution) + 0.7x (from added solution).

4. **Setting up the equation for 50% acid concentration**:
   - We require that the ratio of pure acid to total volume is 0.5 (50%).
   - Therefore, the equation is:

   \[
   \frac{3 + 0.7x}{10 + x} = 0.5
   \]

5. **Solving the equation**:

   Multiply both sides by (10 + x) to clear the fraction:

   \[
   3 + 0.7x = 0.5(10 + x)
   \]

   Expanding the right side:

   \[
   3 + 0.7x = 5 + 0.5x
   \]

   Subtract 0.5x from both sides:

   \[
   3 + 0.2x = 5
   \]

   Subtract 3 from both sides:

   \[
   0.2x = 2
   \]

   Divide by 0.2:

   \[
   x = 10
   \]

So, 10 liters of the 70% acid solution must be added to the initial 10 liters of 30% solution to get a 50% acid mixture. 

Let's verify: 

- Initial acid: 3 liters
- Acid from added solution: 0.7 * 10 = 7 liters
- Total acid: 3 + 7 = 10 liters
- Total volume: 10 + 10 = 20 liters
- Acid percentage: \(\frac{10}{20} = 0.5 = 50\%\)

This confirms our solution. 

Final answer: 10 liters of 70% acid solution should be added.
```
- thinking=False
```md
Let's denote the amount of 70% acid solution to be added as x liters.

We start with 10 liters of a 30% acid solution, which means there are 0.3 * 10 = 3 liters of pure acid in it.

We want to end up with a 50% acid solution after adding x liters of 70% acid solution. The total volume of the mixture will be 10 + x liters, and we want half of this volume to be pure acid.

So, the amount of pure acid in the final mixture should be 0.5 * (10 + x) liters.

The amount of pure acid in the final mixture comes from two sources: the original 30% solution and the added 70% solution. So, we can set up the following equation:

3 (from the original solution) + 0.7x (from the added solution) = 0.5 * (10 + x)

Now, let's solve for x:

3 + 0.7x = 5 + 0.5x
0.7x - 0.5x = 5 - 3
0.2x = 2
x = 2 / 0.2
x = 10

So, you need to add 10 liters of a 70% acid solution to the 10 liters of a 30% acid solution to get a 50% acid mixture.

**Training Data:** 
Overall, our training data is largely comprised of two key sources: (1) publicly available datasets with permissive license, (2) internal synthetically generated data targeted to enhance reasoning capabilites. 
<!-- A detailed attribution of datasets can be found in [Granite 3.2 Technical Report (coming soon)](#), and [Accompanying Author List](https://github.com/ibm-granite/granite-3.0-language-models/blob/main/author-ack.pdf). -->

**Infrastructure:**
We train Granite-3.2-8B-Instruct using IBM's super computing cluster, Blue Vela, which is outfitted with NVIDIA H100 GPUs. This cluster provides a scalable and efficient infrastructure for training our models over thousands of GPUs.

**Ethical Considerations and Limitations:** 
Granite-3.2-8B-Instruct builds upon Granite-3.1-8B-Instruct, leveraging both permissively licensed open-source and select proprietary data for enhanced performance. Since it inherits its foundation from the previous model, all ethical considerations and limitations applicable to [Granite-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-3.1-8b-instruct) remain relevant.
