Tried out the Ollama version and it's insanely fast with really good results for 1.9GB size. Supposed to have a 1M context window, would be interested where the speed goes then.

No Mamba in the Ollama version though.

Ollama default to Q4 usually and 8/16k context and not the 1M context

(I've only just starting running local LLMs so excuse the dumb question).

Would Granite run with llama.cpp and use Mamba?

Last I checked Ollama inference is based on llama.cpp so either Ollama has not caught up yet, or the answer is no.

EDIT: Looks like Granite 4 hybrid architecture support was added to llama.cpp back in May: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/13550

Yes and no. They've written their own "engine" using GGML libraries directly, but fall back to llama.cpp for models the new engine doesn't yet support.
