Granite Switch 4.1.1 — Update models like you update software

IBM has released Granite Switch 4.1.1, a patch update that showcases its modular Switch architecture. This design allows for updating specialized, cache-efficient adapters without altering the base model, mirroring how software is updated. This specific release introduces an updated Granite Speech ASR model for multilingual speech-to-text and an improved Decision adapter. The update process highlights the speed and efficiency of this modular approach, and an Adapter SDK is planned to allow third-party developers to build their own components.
