Granite 4.2: How IBM Built Its New Reasoning LLMs

IBM’s Granite 4.2 is its first reasoning-focused LLM family, trained on ~15T tokens and refined through a multi-stage reinforcement learning pipeline that teaches the 8B and 30B models to act as coding, terminal, and search agents.

Quantization-Aware Healing Makes a 4-Bit Model Beat Its BF16 Source

Multiverse Computing says its Quantization-Aware Healing recipe produced a compressed 60B MXFP4 model that matched or beat its recovered BF16 source on seven of nine benchmarks. The result came with roughly four times lower weight memory, but important limitations remain.

GPT‑5.6 in Kiro Targets Better Coding Price-Performance

OpenAI and AWS are positioning GPT‑5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna as three cost-capability choices inside Kiro. A Terra test showed roughly 82% lower cost for successful Terminal‑Bench 2.1 tasks, but the result needs careful interpretation.
