Problem Description
IBM has recently released Granite-Docling-258M, an ultra-compact vision-language model (VLM) that is Docling-compatible.
Desired Solution you'd like
In the Open WebUI settings (or plugin configuration), allow choosing between “Docling (existing setup)” and “Granite-Docling (model name or path / Hugging Face)” for document conversion.
Alternatives Considered
Using generic OCR + layout parsers (e.g. Tesseract, or other visual + text parsers), but these often lose layout, struggle with formulas/tables, or need complex post-processing.
Additional Context
Granite-Docling-258M is open-sourced under Apache-2.0 licence, available via Hugging Face.
