# Granite 4.1 3B vs Granite 4.1 30B

Put two to four models side by side on the fields that decide a deployment: context, price, region, license, languages, hosting, and what is verified.

Where two models differ, this table shows the difference and stops. LLM EU publishes no winner badge without a documented score for that task, and a missing figure stays missing instead of becoming a zero.

## When to use it

### [Granite 4.1 3B](/en/models/granite-4-1-3b/)

#### Strengths

- open weights are published on Hugging Face and can be downloaded without a vendor agreement
- Apache-2.0 licence, so commercial self-hosting is permitted without a separate agreement
- at 3.4B parameters it fits on a single accelerator

#### Limits

- catalogue only %E2%80%94 LLM EU does not run this model, and nothing on this card implies an LLM EU endpoint
- no evaluation has been run by LLM EU
- the published configuration records no context window, so the card carries none
- at 3.4B parameters, the weights fit on a single modest accelerator
