AI BriefingGranite 4.1 3B SVG Pelican
Key point
21 GGUF variants of Granite 4.1 3B were tested with pelican SVG generation, but the results were poor.
Details
IBM released the Granite 4.1 LLM family a few days ago. It's licensed under Apache 2.0, with model sizes split into 3B, 8B, and 30B. Yousaf Shah of the Granite team detailed the training process in a separate post.
Unsloth provided 21 GGUF quantization files in the granite-4.1-3b-GGUF collection. File sizes ranged from 1.2GB to 6.34GB, totaling 51.3GB altogether.
Simon Willison compared the results by feeding the same prompt, Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle, into these variants. No clear pattern emerged between size and quality, and the outputs were mostly incomprehensible blobs of shapes.
- The smallest model produced the most plausible bicycle shape.
- The largest model only showed slightly more pelican-like elements.
No clear correlation between size and quality was confirmed.
