> Reference granite-3.0-2b-base checkpoint and architecture details for NeMo AutoModel, with model-family information, setup guidance, and upstream resources.

[IBM Granite](https://www.ibm.com/granite) is IBM's family of enterprise-focused language models. Granite 3.x models are trained on a mix of code and language data and are optimized for enterprise tasks including summarization, classification, and RAG. PowerLM (IBM Research) also uses this architecture.

Set up NeMo AutoModel with the [latest container](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/nemo-automodel) or follow the [installation instructions](/get-started/installation).
