IBM Granite Vision 3.2 2B

Good fit for

People testing local visual-document interpretation rather than a broad text-only assistant.

Why consider it

The entry explicitly describes extraction from tables, charts, infographics, plots and diagrams.

Main limitations

Requires Ollama 0.5.13 or later. The runtime package includes both language weights and a vision projector; its size is not total working-memory demand. Extracted numbers and chart interpretations require source checking. No spreadsheet computation or Data Analysis category is inferred.

Cost and access

No subscription or hosted token fee for local inference within permitted uses. Hardware, electricity and setup are separate. Apache 2.0 is listed for this package.

Getting started

Install a compatible Ollama version, review the model license, then run: ollama run granite3.2-vision:2b. API means the local runtime API, not a hosted endpoint included with the model.
