Granite Docling 258M WebGPU

Granite Docling 258M WebGPU

Runs a static web page from ibm-granite in your browser with nothing to install, and its files can be downloaded to open on your own computer.

Made by ibm-granite on Hugging Face. These notes are Mindket's, written from its Space page and README; the app's own files and license are on Hugging Face.

About

What it is: Granite Docling 258M WebGPU is a static web page that ibm-granite published as a Hugging Face Space. It runs in the browser, so nothing needs installing. It names two models, an ONNX community build and the original granite-docling-258M, and its repository holds index.html, a parser.js script and an assets folder.

Who it suits: People who want to try the page in a browser, and developers who want its few files on their own computer to read.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Machine learning | Model testers | Open the Space in a browser with nothing to install | Trying the page with the model it names
Web development | Front-end developers | Download the files and read index.html and parser.js | Checking how the page and its script fit together
Education | Learners | Keep a local copy and open it from a folder | Opening index.html from a downloaded folder

Skip it if you need an API or a command line tool, since this is a page you open and look at.

Where to use it: Granite Docling 258M WebGPU opens in these places.

• A web browser: the Space runs there with nothing to install
• Windows, macOS or Linux: download the files with Python, then open index.html in a browser

Use case | Who | What they get back
Try it online | Anyone with a browser | The page running straight from the Space
Keep a local copy | Developers | The 8 files of the repository in a folder called granite-docling-258M-WebGPU
Study the script | Learners | A look at how index.html, parser.js and the assets folder sit together

How to set it up: Online use needs only a browser. A local copy needs a few more things first.

• A web browser
• Python on Windows, macOS or Linux, for a local copy

1. Open the Space's page on Hugging Face if you only want to use it online.
2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub library with pip.
3. Download the Space's files into a folder called granite-docling-258M-WebGPU.
4. Move into that folder.
5. Open index.html in a web browser.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M-WebGPU --repo-type space --local-dir granite-docling-258M-WebGPU
cd granite-docling-258M-WebGPU

How to use it: Online, open the Space's page and the page runs in your tab. With a local copy, go into the folder and open index.html in your browser. There is nothing else to run.

cd granite-docling-258M-WebGPU

Tool | What it does
pip install -U huggingface_hub | Installs or updates the Hugging Face hub library
hf download | Fetches the Space's files into a local folder
cd granite-docling-258M-WebGPU | Moves into the downloaded folder

Example: You download the Space with the hf command, move into the granite-docling-258M-WebGPU folder and open index.html in your browser. The page loads from the files on your own computer, the same files the Space holds.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new, open the Space's page first and look at what loads. That is the whole first step, and it needs no setup.

If you know the field, the name mentions WebGPU and the Space names two model repositories, one from onnx-community and one from ibm-granite. The page itself is plain static HTML with a parser script, and the browser does the work. The trade-off is that changing behavior means editing the files yourself.

Open the Space page
Browser loads index.html
The page runs in your browser

Good to know: It is a static page, so you use it rather than call it.

• Models: onnx-community/granite-docling-258M-ONNX and ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M
• Size: 8 files in the repository
• License: apache-2
• Cost to run: none named
• Data it reaches: the models it names, none else named
• Not for: no forbidden uses are named
