Hello everyone. I’m trying to upload my fine-tuned GPT-2 Model to Model Hub.  
When I try to use the uploading function push\_to\_hub I get the following error:  
`AttributeError: 'GPT2Model' object has no attribute 'push_to_hub'`  
In the documentation it says that I can push the model with this function.  
Can anybody help please?

You need to update your Transformers library to the latest version.

Thank you so much. I have another question. Is there a way to push a model to the model hub after training without saving the new model to the disk with trainer.save\_model() ? Would Trainer.push\_to\_hub do that or is it for pushing just the trainer instance? If yes how can I give my authentication token as a parameter to trainer.push\_to\_hub method?

You can set your token in the training arguments inside `push_to_hub_token`.  
The `Trainer` will save the model on disk with `save_model`, as you need to save it to the repo of the model you will be using before it can git push it to the model hub.

So you mean I should set push\_to\_hub\_token in Training arguments. Then train the model and save it using trainer.save\_model() function. Then I should just recreate it from the saved file using

```auto
fine_tuned_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("./file_path")

```

And then finally push it to hub using

```auto
fine_tuned_model.push_to_hub("Name of model")

```

No, you should just do `trainer.push_to_hub()` once you’re done with training. Look at any of the [notebooks examples](https://huggingface.co/transformers/master/notebooks.html#examples) for more context, or the [push to hub video](https://youtu.be/A5IWIxsHLUw).

Thank you very much. I was able to solve my problem after I saw the training argument “push\_to\_hub\_model\_id” and transformers-cli from your example notebook “Train a language model”.

‘Functional’ object has no attribute ‘push\_to\_hub’

 ![screenshot-colab.research.google.com-2023.01.28-12_24_29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/2X/c/c43f450851679c9822f4ebb68d2f0e0981e9307e.png)

I am facing this issue regarding push\_to\_hub API which does not support Functional models from TensorFlow. My model is an NMT that has custom objects.  
It is a custom model which I have built from scratch and does not use any methods like from\_pretrained.  
I want to push it to huggingface as well as create a pipeline

Please help
