# docker model pull **Description:** Pull a model from Docker Hub or HuggingFace to your local environment **Usage:** `docker model pull MODEL` ## Description Pull a model to your local environment. Downloaded models also appear in the Docker Desktop Dashboard. ## Examples ### Pulling a model from Docker Hub ```console docker model pull ai/smollm2 ``` ### Pulling from HuggingFace You can pull GGUF models directly from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=gguf). **Note about quantization:** If no tag is specified, the command tries to pull the `Q4_K_M` version of the model. If `Q4_K_M` doesn't exist, the command pulls the first GGUF found in the **Files** view of the model on HuggingFace. To specify the quantization, provide it as a tag, for example: `docker model pull hf.co/bartowski/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-GGUF:Q4_K_S` ```console docker model pull hf.co/bartowski/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-GGUF ```
