Product Details

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.


Open and integrated AI platform

Data scientists can move faster with Vertex AI Platform's tools for training, tuning, and deploying ML models.

Vertex AI notebooks, including Colab Enterprise or Workbench, are natively integrated with BigQuery providing a single surface across all data and AI workloads. Vertex AI Training and Prediction help reduce training time and deploy models to production with any open source frameworks and optimized AI infrastructure.


MLOps for predictive and generative AI

Vertex AI Platform provides purpose-built MLOps tools for data scientists and ML engineers to automate, standardize, and manage ML projects.

Modular tools help collaborate across teams and improve models throughout the entire development life cycle—identify the best model for a use case with Vertex AI Evaluation, orchestrate workflows with Vertex AI Pipelines, manage any model with Model Registry, serve, share, and reuse ML features with Feature Store, and monitor models for input skew and drift.


Agent Builder

Vertex AI Agent Builder enables developers to build and deploy enterprise ready generative AI experiences. It provides the convenience of a no code agent builder console alongside grounding, orchestration and customization capabilities. With Vertex AI Agent Builder developers can create a range of generative AI agents and applications grounded in their organization’s data.

We use Vertex AI on a daily basis. Vertex AI workbench forms the best kind of a platform for our daily AI/ML development. So the product that we are working on requires us to experiment our code on GPU systems and Vertex AI workbench gives us the resources that are required. Business problems addressed - Document processing platform and Scope is anything and everything under the bracket of document processing.
  • One unified platform - Very helpful for managing the end to end data science lifecycles
  • AutoML capabilities - We have several models which are trained via AutoML which streamlines the entire ML training process
  • Model monitoring and management - Vertex AI provides some good tactics to deal with model monitoring which is a very important aspect of working with models today
  • 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
Vertex AI maybe well suited for healthcare where you can facilitate medical image analysis because Vertex AI capabilities can be well used for predicting diseases and other such use cases be it prescription completion or other NLP applications. Vertex AI may not be suitable for applications where it needs customization of Auto ML models since we are not aware of the parameters used there.
  • Vertex AI has potentially accelerated all development tasks by 70%. No hassle of setting up environments on local specially.
  • It has led to reduced training time because scaling up is automatically taken care of by Vertex AI.
  • It has led to a reduction in processing time of 40% by our document processing system product.
Vertex AI is very user friendly and it is very fast. We can spin up instances pretty quickly and it allows to work with GPU instances without much planning. Pages load up very quickly and tasks are competed pretty much in time frame. It integrates with other systems also very well.
Vertex AI's configurability aligns well with its users. For users seeking rapid AI/ML model development, its a great platform to configure their systems and go ahead with model development and deployment. Its configurable since you can embed Tensorflow and Pytorch very easily within the codes usable on Vertex AI which is the need of the hour for all ML developers.
I have used AWS sagemaker is the past for AI/ML model development in my previous organization for everything. Sagemaker is good with respect to certain services but when we talk about Vertex AI in comparison, AutoML is the differentiator. AutoML is very strong and is able to delivery competent models. Sagemaker has autopilot which is not that strong in comparison.
