## Publish a model

> [!NOTE]
>
> This works for any Container Registry supporting OCI Artifacts, not only Docker Hub.

You can tag existing models with a new name and publish them under a different namespace and repository:

```console
# Tag a pulled model under a new name
$ docker model tag ai/smollm2 myorg/smollm2

# Push it to Docker Hub
$ docker model push myorg/smollm2
```

For more details, see the [`docker model tag`](/reference/cli/docker/model/tag) and [`docker model push`](/reference/cli/docker/model/push) command documentation.

You can also directly package a model file in GGUF format as an OCI Artifact and publish it to Docker Hub.

```console
# Download a model file in GGUF format, e.g. from HuggingFace
$ curl -L -o model.gguf https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-v0.1-GGUF/resolve/main/mistral-7b-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf

# Package it as OCI Artifact and push it to Docker Hub
$ docker model package --gguf "$(pwd)/model.gguf" --push myorg/mistral-7b-v0.1:Q4_K_M
```

For more details, see the [`docker model package`](/reference/cli/docker/model/package/) command documentation.
