# AI Model Import

Akto lets you seamlessly import AI models like **Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Llama, Grok**, or even your **custom model** into **AI Model Security**. With just your model’s endpoint URL and optional authentication, you can start monitoring and probing instantly.

### 🔧 What You Need

* **AI Endpoint URL** (e.g., `https://api.example.com/ai-agent`)
* **(Optional) Authentication details** if your AI model requires them
* **(Optional) Custom request body** for models that need non-standard inputs

2. **Select your AI model provider** (Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Llama, Grok, or *Bring Your Own Model*)
3. **Click “Connect”**
4. **Fill in model details**:
   * **AI Endpoint URL**: e.g., `https://api.example.com/ai-agent`
