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 the country recorded as United States of America, during February 2025. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry.
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of 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. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation ibm-granite.
Answers
Granite Guardian 3.2 — common questions
Granite Guardian 3.2— when was it released?
It was published in February 2025.
Granite Guardian 3.2— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of quantitative reasoning, Language modeling/generation, Question answering. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
Granite Guardian 3.2— where can I download it?
Its weights are published on Hugging Face, under the organisation ibm-granite. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.
Granite Guardian 3.2— what GPU do I need to run it?
We cannot say. It 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.
Granite Guardian 3.2— is it open source?
Its weights are published, so it 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.
Granite Guardian 3.2— how many parameters does it have?
No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Granite Guardian 3.2— who created it?
It was published by IBM, based in United States of America, an organisation 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.
