Granite Guardian 3.2
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean
Background
Granite Guardian 3.2 was published by IBM, in United States of America, in February 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing quantitative reasoning, Language modeling/generation, Question answering.
Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded. It is published under the ibm-granite organisation on Hugging Face.
Answers
Granite Guardian 3.2 — common questions
When was Granite Guardian 3.2 released?
Granite Guardian 3.2 was published in February 2025.
What is Granite Guardian 3.2 used for?
Granite Guardian 3.2 works in Language, and is recorded as handling quantitative reasoning, Language modeling/generation, Question answering. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
Where can I download Granite Guardian 3.2?
Its weights are published under the ibm-granite organisation on Hugging Face. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.
What GPU do I need to run Granite Guardian 3.2?
We cannot say. Granite Guardian 3.2 has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.
Is Granite Guardian 3.2 open source?
Its weights are published, so Granite Guardian 3.2 can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.
How many parameters does Granite Guardian 3.2 have?
No parameter count has been published for Granite Guardian 3.2, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created Granite Guardian 3.2?
Granite Guardian 3.2 was published by IBM, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
