    IBM releases LLMON preview models built on Granite 4.1 3B and 8B

    IBM released two experimental preview models, granite-4.1-3b-LLMON-preview and granite-4.1-8b-LLMON-preview, derived from Granite 4.1 base checkpoints and trained to consume and generate LLMON, an LLM-native markup language that marks instructions, data and requirements with reserved special-token delimiters. On the OPI benchmark the models avoid 47% more indirect prompt injection attacks than the best frontier model tested and 95% more than the best open-source model, while performing on par with Granite 4.1 Instruct on standard benchmarks. The release includes a GitHub toolkit with lossless JSON-to-LLMON converters, and the authors note the preview is for exploration, not production.

    Why it matters: IBM trained a preview model on Granite 4.1 that can read and write LLMON tags, using explicit instruction-data separation to reduce the indirect prompt injection success rate on the OPI benchmark to near zero while maintaining general capabilities.

    Amazon releases Mitra-v2 tabular foundation model with scaled synthetic pretraining

    Amazon introduced Mitra-v2, a second-generation tabular foundation model for classification and regression, released with fine-tuned models and inference and fine-tuning code under the Apache-2.0 license on Hugging Face. It is pretrained on synthetic tables with 10 times as many rows and roughly three times as many columns as Mitra-v1, using a new hybrid SCM prior and hybrid optimizer while keeping the Transformer architecture unchanged. On TabArena, a public benchmark of 51 real-world datasets, Mitra-v2 leads the single-model field, beats Mitra-v1 on 32 of the 33 datasets both run natively, and finishes all 51 within the one-hour budget; fine-tuned Mitra-v2 also ranks first on ScoringBench.

    Why it matters: Mitra-v2 shows that widening synthetic pretraining data, rather than deepening the network, lifts a tabular foundation model to the top of TabArena's single-model field.
