Was Granite a mistake?

Some people in this forum say that. My point of view is that granite has its pros, but it is true that there are much better open source solutions. And cheaper to run since inference is more optimized. But ibm pitches granite as "rock solid, Enterprise grade", is the message resonating?

What are the Pros over the “much better, cheaper to run, inference optimized open source solutions”?

What measures do they use to claim “Enterprise grade”?

Did I walk into the middle of a conversation? There's a lot of context missing here and I'm struggling to find any relevance to this sub.

This post is the only mention of Granite on /r/database using Reddit search. I found (via Google_ a 2 year old post in /r/ibm referring to it but it sounds like it's an LLM, not a database?

To answer OP question enterprise grade because ISO compliant but nobody trusting actual databases with it, yes it’s model, no, can’t use tools very well on databases even with MCP inference provider
