🚀 Last Friday, we shipped something special: granite-8b-qiskit-rc-0.10, our latest revision of the LLMs that empower the Qiskit Code Assistant.

Trained on a significantly expanded Qiskit synthetic dataset, this release marks the end of an era - it's our final model using the current training approach.

What's next? We're pivoting to newer Granite base models and starting to integrate other cutting-edge techniques. Stay tuned!
