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.

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.

The complex pricing structure and high cost may be a problem for some organization but apart from that, it is very easy to use and can handle TBs of data and furthermore, it easily integrates with google cloud so it is very much recommended.

We needed to build some ML models and Vertex AI is one such place where all the functionalities are consolidated for model deployment, tweaking and monitoring. And although it is costly, it is compatible with google cloud services and is scalable which makes it the perfect tool for us.

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.

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.

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.
