Does DL4J load “Functional” model? The tutorial shows we need to generate “Sequential” model in order to load in to DL4J.

> To import a Keras model, you need to create and [serialize](https://keras.io/getting-started/faq/#how-can-i-save-a-keras-model) such a model first.

**Sequential model example:**

```auto
model = keras.Sequential([keras.Input((32,)), keras.layers.Dense(1)])config = model.get_config()new_model = keras.Sequential.from_config(config)

```

**Functional model example:**

```auto
inputs = keras.Input((32,))outputs = keras.layers.Dense(1)(inputs)model = keras.Model(inputs, outputs)config = model.get_config()new_model = keras.Model.from_config(config)

```

When you take a look at the documentation you find that it does support functional model import: [https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai/keras-import/model-functional](https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai/keras-import/model-functional)

Ah, OK, thanks. I am still struggling to load my model with UpSampling3D error as shown in another thread. I am trying to test different senarios like this “Sequential” model.

I downloaded another model from someone else which also contains UpSampling3D model, it shows same error.:
