granite docling 258M

Runs as your own dedicated GPU deployment, ready to launch from the wizard. Data stays in Europe.

Granite Docling 258M builds upon the Idefics3 architecture, but introduces two key modifications: it replaces the vision encoder with siglip2-base-patch16-512 and substitutes the language model with a Granite 165M LLM. Try out our Granite-Docling-258 demo today.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run granite docling 258M in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs granite docling 258M on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting granite docling 258M GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does granite docling 258M cost?

granite docling 258M is available on request: through the shared EU router after a quick chat, or as your own dedicated GPU deployment billed per hour. Tell us your use case and we will set it up for you.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.
