LLMON: An LLM-Native Markup Language, now in Granite 4.1 3B and 8B

Granite 4.1 models now support LLMON, a markup language that explicitly communicates structure and semantics to LLMs using reserved special-token delimiters, reducing brittleness and improving robustness against prompt injection attacks; this enables more reliable processing of complex context with multiple components, such as instructions and data payloads, in production LLM applications.
Granite 4.1 now has experimental 3B and 8B preview variants trained to consume and generate LLMON, an XML-like markup that uses reserved special-token delimiters instead of JSON-style punctuation. For production agent builders, the practical shift is that prompt structure, instruction binding, tool/data payload boundaries, and anti-injection scoping can be made explicit to small models rather than inferred from brittle JSON or chat-template conventions.
