## Using the Optimization Component

The Optimization Component optimizes AI by disabling certain scripts and functionality when an AI's model is culled or not visible. By default, the Skinned Mesh Renderer option is used. However, there is also an option to use an [LOD Group](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-LODGroup.html) for AI who have multiple levels or portions of meshes.
