Vertex AI vs. Hugging Face

Vertex AI seems to be a lot more accurate with image editing versus other competitors (including free one). We do a lot of image creation, especially of dogs in very certain scenarios. We use Adobe Stock to get us started, but many times we need some very specific edits done to the image. We've found Vertex can produce those with a lot more precision than other AI image generators.

If an organisation has more access to data and have access to high end computers like GPUs it’s recommended to use Hugging face as it will give better accuracy than any other models. If an organisation having less data and has less access to GPUsis looking for decent performance then traditional algorithms are more appropriate than hugging face

• Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
• MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
• Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers

• Model APIs
• Hugging Face Spaces for deploying demo apps
• Latest updated models available easily
• Vast support for language parsing and other relevant tasks

• Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
• Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
• Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

• Most of the Hugging face models are of big size, hence difficult to work if there is no access to high computational system like GPU.
• It’s good to have some visualization tool in hugging face for viewing model architecture.
• I recommend to implement hugging face lite version so that it can run on any system with less specifications.

It's not always instant, but understandable when it's under heavy load. It's not impressive nor disappointing, just what is expected. But when calling this platform through API's for it to do the actions requested there is minimal delay and wait time. It feels very responsive and quick when integrating it with a call center chat platform for example.

Vertex AI is much more accessible to non-developers than IBM's product. Moreover, Vertex AI integrates well with other Google products, enhancing its capabilities. A big plus is its integration with cloud storage, that allows for better management and access of data. In all honesty, it wasn't much of a difficult choice to choose Vertex AI.

There are some other services offer similar capacity as to Hugging Face, but not entirely the same. For example, amazon web services have a machine learning service called Comprehend, which offer a set of easy to use APIs to do machine translation and entity recognition and some other common NLP use case.

• It is pay as you go model so it'll save more cost of your org. In our case previously we used to incurred 1-2L/Month now we are reduced it to 80k-1L.
• It'll help you save your model training & model selection time as it provides pre-trained models in autoML.
• It'll help you in terms of Security wherein we can use row level security access to authorized persons.

• Hugging Face is cost and time saving.
• Pay is less, you pay what you use, doesn't affect much.
• Overall positive impact on business.
