granite-vision-3.3-2b

Granite Vision 3.3 2B is a lightweight vision-language model designed for efficient image-to-text processing. At 2 billion parameters, it targets developers who need a low-latency solution for visual understanding without the overhead of massive frontier models. It is particularly effective for OCR tasks, image captioning, and visual question answering (VQA) where local deployment or edge computing is a priority. Licensed under Apache-2.0, it offers significant flexibility for commercial integration. Compared to larger VLM alternatives, it prioritizes a smaller memory footprint and faster inference speeds, making it an ideal candidate for embedding into real-time applications or pipelines requiring rapid visual analysis.

Download this model

We recommend using the ModelScope CLI or SDK. Install ModelScope first, then choose a full snapshot, single file, SDK or Git LFS workflow.

This entry points to Hugging Face. The commands use the matching ModelScope repository format; confirm that the repository exists on ModelScope before running them. Model repository: ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.3-2b
Install ModelScope

Install the CLI and SDK dependency before downloading.

pip install modelscope
Download the full model repository

Download the complete weights, configuration and model card.

modelscope download --model ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.3-2b
Download one file to a local directory

README.md is used as an example; replace it with another repository file when needed.

modelscope download --model ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.3-2b README.md --local_dir ./dir
Download with the SDK

Useful in Python projects and automation scripts.

from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.3-2b')
Clone with Git

Make sure Git LFS is installed correctly.

git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.3-2b.git
Clone without downloading LFS blobs

Fetch the repository structure first, then pull large files when needed.
