# Custom models

In theory, the **Nx AI Manager** can run any vision model. While it offers seamless support for image classification and object detection, it is also capable of running other model categories, such as:

* Image/instance segmentation
* Keypoint detection
* Vision-language models (VLMs)
* Custom model developed from scratch using PyTorch or Tensorflow

For these advanced model types, however, [external pre-processing](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.1/nx-ai-manager/advanced-configuration/external-preprocessing.md) and [post-processing](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.1/nx-ai-manager/advanced-configuration/external-postprocessing.md) are required to:

* Prepare and format the model inputs
* Interpret and process the model’s raw outputs

If you’re experiencing difficulties running a custom model during integration, please contact the support team for assistance.
