 Running {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="modular-resource" text="modular resources" >}} on the [board](/components/board/) directly connected to your components is the preferred way of managing and controlling custom components.

+## Design a custom ML model

+When working with the [ML model service](/services/ml/), you can [deploy an existing model](/manage/ml/upload-model/) or [train your own model](/manage/ml/train-model/).

+However, if you are writing your own {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="module" text="module" >}} that uses the ML model service together with the [vision service](/services/vision/), you can also [design your own ML model](/registry/advanced/mlmodel-design/) to better match your specific use case.
