Features
Generative AI models and tools
Generative AI models and fully managed tools make it easy to prototype, customize, and integrate and deploy them into applications.
Choose from the widest variety of models with first-party, third-party, and open source models in Model Garden. Use extensions to enable models to retrieve real-time information and trigger actions. Customize models to your use case with a variety of tuning options for Google's text, image, or code models.
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 your choice of 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 you reduce training time and deploy models to production easily with your choice of 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 you 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.
