## Detect available runtimes

When first starting the plugin the Nx AI Manager plugin will auto-detect the available runtimes for your server.

After the detection is complete you will usually be presented with a list of the available runtimes to choose from

Usually the default "Generic CPU" runtime is there for your system, and based on the hardware platform, or installed [AI Accelerators](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/ai-accelerators-support/supported-ai-accelerators.md) other options will appear. Currently Intel OpenVino, NVIDIA, Hailo, MemryX and more are available.
