Generative AI Support In Vertex AI

Google Cloud is enabling generative AI support for Vertex AI, which is the company’s machine learning (ML) platform for training and deploying ML models and AI applications.

“Developers and businesses already use Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to build and deploy machine learning models and AI applications at scale. We are now providing foundation models, initially for generating text and images, and over time with audio and video,” said Kurian. “Google Cloud customers will have the ability to discover models, create and modify prompts, fine tune them with their own data, and deploy applications that use these powerful new technologies.”

The new generative AI support in Vertex AI gives teams access to foundation models from Google and others, letting users build and customize atop these models on the same platform they use for homegrown ML models and MLOps.

Generative AI support in Vertex AI offers a simple path for data science teams to take advantage of foundation models like the new PaLM API, in a way that provides them with the most choice and control. This includes the ability to easily access PaLM API on Vertex AI to immediately address use cases such as content generation, chat, summarization, classification, and more.

Over time, Vertex AI will support open-source and third-party models, Google said.
