Granite 4.2 30B is IBM’s Apache-licensed dense text model with reasoning controls, tool calling and long-context support.
The specification score summarizes recorded features and limits. It is not a benchmark result.
Recorded modality support shows what this model can accept and produce. An undocumented modality is shown as unknown rather than assumed to be unsupported.

Granite 4.2 30B is IBM’s Apache-licensed dense text model with reasoning controls, tool calling and long-context support.
This 30-billion-parameter checkpoint is a candidate for a larger self-hosted assistant for reasoning and more involved tool workflows. IBM documents native 128K context and extension to 512K. The card includes twelve supported evaluation languages and separate settings for thinking behaviour. The directory records the native context rather than treating extended serving configuration as the default.
Test a multi-stage document analysis and a repository change whose acceptance depends on several checks. Define the expected result first, then assess factual support, valid tool arguments and recovery from missing or contradictory information. Compare the same prompts across Granite sizes before paying for a larger deployment.
The documented chat template strips earlier thinking by default to conserve context, with a setting to preserve it when needed. Keep that choice consistent in a tool loop and ensure the server exposes the intended reasoning and tool parsers. Measure memory and latency at the concurrency your application needs. A smaller parameter count can make deployment easier, but it does not establish a measured response speed on your hardware.
The Apache-licensed weights can be deployed locally. Hosted pricing and rate limits belong to the selected service and remain separate from the checkpoint’s download and licence information.
Compare the model on the work you need to complete.
Granite 4.2 30B is listed for Text generation, Coding & Code Generation. It accepts text and produces text. Use the publisher’s input format and preprocessing for your chosen deployment.
Documented limits: 131.07K context. Measure a completed task using the prompts, documents and tools your application will use. Include reasoning and retries in the result.
The weights are downloadable under Apache 2.0. Check runtime support and size the complete model and working context for your expected concurrency.
These records share a directory category. Check the source card, output type and deployment requirements before treating a model as a replacement.
