IBM Granite Docling 258M: Open-source document AI model
Granite Docling 258M is a 258-million parameter vision-language model designed for document conversion and structured extraction. It integrates vision and language capabilities to parse PDFs, slides, and scanned pages into machine-readable formats while preserving layout, tables, code, and equations. The model is released open-source under Apache 2.0 and succeeds SmolDocling with improvements in OCR, equation handling, and table accuracy.
What's new
- 258M parameter compact vision-language model for document conversion
- Integrates vision and language in single model instead of chained OCR pipeline
- Outputs structured DocTags to preserve layout, tables, code, and equations
- Supports English natively with experimental Japanese, Arabic, and Chinese support
