```
docker model run hf.co/datacpa1/granite-4.2-8b-openvino
```

This model was converted to OpenVINO from ibm-granite/granite-4.2-8b using optimum-intel via the export space.

First make sure you have optimum-intel installed:

pip install optimum-intel

To load your model you can do as follows:

from optimum.intel import OVModelForCausalLM

model_id = "datacpa1/granite-4.2-8b-openvino"
model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
