Cloud AI Platform

Unified machine learning and generative AI platform for building, deploying, and managing models across the full lifecycle. Combines access to foundation models with custom training, MLOps tooling, and enterprise-grade deployment in a single managed environment.

Vertex AI is recognized as a Leader in Forrester Wave AI Foundation Models and AI/ML Platforms, and in IDC MarketScape for GenAI foundation models. Used by organizations like Uber Eats, Ipsos, Jasper, and Shutterstock for production gen AI workflows. Differentiates by offering both first-party and third-party models in one platform, from Gemini and Imagen to Claude and open models like Llama and Gemma, alongside custom ML training with your own frameworks.

Key capabilities:

• Model Garden with 200+ foundation models, first-party, third-party, and open-source
• Vertex AI Studio for designing and testing prompts with text, images, video, or code
• Training and Prediction services for custom models with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and other frameworks
• MLOps tools: pipelines, Model Registry, Feature Store, evaluation, and monitoring for drift
• Agent Builder for building and governing enterprise AI agents grounded in your data
• Native integration with BigQuery and Vertex AI notebooks for data science workflows

Data scientists use Vertex AI to train custom models from notebooks to production, while application teams build generative AI features: summarization, classification, extraction, and multimodal applications. Deploy for batch or online predictions, tune and evaluate models with objective metrics, and scale agents with governance controls across the organization.
