The AI ecosystem is Wild West. no consistent packaging, varying model formats, supply chains lack transparency, no clear provenance, trust and security is optional. We introduce how ModelSpec (an OCI-based specification from CloudNativeAI) and KitOps (a CNCF sandbox project) bring cloud-neutral, secure packaging, signing, and verification to AI models, just like containers. By reusing the OCI ecosystem, already supported by container registries like Harbor. So, people can now version, audit, license, and securely distribute models with clear provenance, reproducibility and compliance built in.
