Overall Satisfaction with Vertex AI

I use Vertex AI to solve the problems of finding insight from multiple pdf document using a generative AI chatbot, GCP Document AI used for OCR which is costlier we later realized then we used their Gemini model as a large language model for answer generation but it also failed in generating answer at production, overall i am not satisfied with the Vertex AI services. It is ok for POC but not for production.

Pros

  • Document AI is good at extracting content from pdf
  • Model Garden is a good option for exploring different models at one place.
  • Kubeflow pipeline for automating training and serving model

Cons

  • their Large language model accuracy
  • vector index creation time is at least 40 mins which is not good
  • Model garden should include OpenAI integration
  • it is good for faster development by leveraging their API key and SDKs
  • Costing is high, it is not worth the amount of accuracy they are providing
  • Computer Vision related task are easy to implement using this
They are really good at loading pages quickly, Integrating their APIs to other system may slow down as i have seen that their Embedding generation is quite slower as compared to OpenAI
LLM models can be configured using their parameters , also they have option of hyperparameter tuning and setting up continuous training pipeline.
I have used OpenAI for their LLM and Vector Embedding service, they are really good at it. But Vertex AI has other better services like training pipeline , depolyment creation etc.

Do you think Vertex AI delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Vertex AI's feature set?

No

Did Vertex AI live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Vertex AI go as expected?

No

Would you buy Vertex AI again?

No

I generally don't recommend Vertex AI because of some previous failure experience their large language model is not good enough. i can only recommend their document AI which is quite good but pricing is too high. They should also improve their text to speech model just like elevenlabs.com if it is done then we can use it as a call center bot.
