Granite Meets Mellea: Engineering AI You Can Trust
Hosted by IBM Research Cambridge / MIT-IBM Lab
Thursday, October 1, 2026
4:00 PM–5:30 PM ET
About
IBM's Granite models are small, open, and transparently trained. Combined with Mellea, a lightweight library that turns raw model calls into programmable, testable components instead of loose prompts, you get a solution built to run real agent workloads. Together, they give you the control and auditability that most agent stacks skip.
Bring a laptop. This session is for engineers, AI builders, and PMs who want to move past demos and build software with Granite and Mellea that actually scales.

Doors open at 3:30p, and we’ll get started with the technical “Build” session at 4:00p. At the conclusion, we’ll all head over to one of the local watering holes for an informal “Brew”. Registration required.
