What is Vertex AI?

Vertex AI is a fully-managed, unified AI development platform for building and using generative AI. It includes access to AI Studio, Agent Builder, and 130+ foundation models including Gemini 1.5 Pro.


Gemini, Google’s most capable multimodal models

Vertex AI offers access to Gemini models from Google. Gemini is capable of understanding virtually any input, combining different types of information, and generating almost any output. Prompt and test in Vertex AI with Gemini, using text, images, video, or code. Using Gemini’s advanced reasoning and state-of-the-art generation capabilities, developers can try sample prompts for extracting text from images, converting image text to JSON, and even generate answers about uploaded images to build next-gen AI applications.

In addition to Gemini, the service includes access to Gemma, a family of lightweight, open models built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.


130+ generative AI models and tools

The service also offers access to models with first-party (Gemini, Imagen, Codey), third-party (Anthropic's Claude 3), and open models (Gemma, Llama 2) in Model Garden. Its extensions enable models to retrieve real-time information and trigger actions. Models can be customized to any use case with a variety of tuning options for Google's text, image, or code models. Generative AI models and fully managed tools help to prototype, customize, and integrate and deploy them into applications.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As an organization, we want to be at the forefront when it comes to adopting AI technologies. Be it to enhance operational efficiency of our own internal employees, or to streamlining customer experience, we know that we need to be AI-powered in order stay competitive.

That's where Vertex AI comes in. GCP's generous onboarding terms let us try out many solutions, build our PoCs, gauging adoption before committing to a solution.
Pros and Cons
  • 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
  • I do wish that Vertex AI has something like an index of technical terms, so people can learn to use it faster instead of seeing 1 new & strange term at a time
  • As an organization, we have our extensive practices with DevOps, together with the familiar tools & pipelines, Vertex AI's having its own set of tools doesn't help with making the learning & integrating curves less steep
  • Similar to lots of other AI offerings, Vertex AI docs tend to have lots of buzzwords yet few technical details, making it seems like reading ads instead of technical docs
Likelihood to Recommend
Vertex AI's generous onboarding terms make it an attractive solution to people or organizations that are considering adopting AI technologies.

It's various ready-out-of-the-box solutions are also helpful, it some of them solve exactly what you need at the moment.

Full support for MLOps, with extensive documentation laying out the theoretical side, is also helpful for someone looking for a start.

Yet the heavy reliance on proprietary technologies, especially regarding operational aspect, makes it quite awkward to integrate with your existing tech infra, if you have one.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Vertex AI is Google's Machine Learning Platform that helps to streamline diverse machine learning tasks and help build ML models. Our organization uses Vertex AI to measure project performance and predict customer behavior so as to make more accurate forecasts. It is extremely user-friendly and is accessible to users with different levels of training.
Pros and Cons
  • It allows for customization of LLMs.
  • It makes machine learning accessible to non-developers.
  • One can create models without extensive coding.
  • It does have lower capacities to digest data compared to other platforms.
  • Many of the features are available only for paid users, which is costly. So it may not make sense for a smaller enterprise.
  • The customer support for the platform can be improved.
Likelihood to Recommend
You can user Vertex AI to create predictive models if you are working with smaller data sets. For example, if you want to customize user experiences for a website based on past behavior. However, if you want to make regional or global sales forecasts, predictive models that needs large amounts of data, the platform is not suitable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Mainly at [...] we currently have two problems that we are satisfying thanks to Google's Vertex AI and ML (machine learning), on the one hand we maintain a large amount of data in immense volumes of facilities and productions, logistical data, exploration data, exploitation data, volumes of loading, etc., Vertex AI helps us on the one hand with batch prediction, thanks to the data maintained, being able to generate an early conclusion so that extractors can quote new areas of exploitation with the data that we already maintain, on the other hand the significance of generating a Greater efficiency is the key to the optimization that the program produces, a purer line of work can be generated, that is, in the logistical issue, being able to generate inventory ordering much faster with the program, I would say that the capacity of people saved in the process is more than 10 and the program does it alone.
Pros and Cons
  • ML models developed with Vertex AI can assess and mitigate risks associated with oil exploration and production activities. That is, it can generate savings from clumsy investments thanks to its advance prediction.
  • The predictions are quite accurate, the more data that is generated and included, the ML makes much more accurate decisions than a human could make in months.
  • Prediction learns from mistakes and voluntarily predicts new ways.
  • [...] can use Vertex AI to develop ML models for monitoring and reducing environmental impact. These models can analyze data from sensors, satellite imagery, and other sources to detect anomalies, assess environmental risks, and recommend strategies for minimizing pollution and mitigating environmental damage.
  • This is very positive.
  • Vertex AI I believe is in its initial stages, I wonder where the multi-access is? multi-credentials so that several teams can join together en masse to lead the contribution of data in their own fields? I think that today is a time for executive decision-making, but every member of the company should be open and able to enter and give feedback.
  • It requires a large volume of data initially, if we buy a program it should already come with a basic learning base about a certain industry, for example, oil in our case, I think this is essential for the future of AI competition or the ml
Likelihood to Recommend
I believe that the prediction function is adjusted to 78%, for this reason I would recommend it only to medium-sized companies that have a volume of data required for the program to begin with an ideal work base, the company should have the prior capacity to be able to provide I do not recommend this for start-ups or small businesses.
