## Summary

IBM releases Granite Switch 4.1.1, a patch release fully backward compatible with 4.1 that requires no migration. The update includes a Granite Speech ASR model that transcribes 10 languages with native punctuation and capitalization, and an updated Decision adapter in granitelib-core with improved performance on the Jev Decision Index test set. The base model is unchanged, and the team says only the new ASR model and Decision adapter were trained.
