Decent run from new IBM Granite 4.2 8B (Q8bit) on Curse of Monkey Island #retrogaming #ai

Here is a demo of models dropped yesterday on August 26, 2026 by IBM. Full video: https://dai.ly/xb1e5h2

- Granite 4.2 8B (quantization: 8 bit, MLX)
- Granite 4.2 3B (quantization: 8 bit, MLX)

You'll notice some bugs, especially in the 3B model, which was unable to even deliver a working tool call...

This demo uses an MCP server built for ScummVM.

Enjoy!
