Vertex AI is the unification of Google Cloud's ML platforms. AutoML (training a model without writing code), custom training (training with your own code), model deployment and monitoring — all under one roof.
01. AutoML: ML Without Writing Code
You upload data and select the target column, and Vertex AI finds the most suitable model itself. Image classification, tabular prediction, text classification, video analysis — all supported.
02. Custom Training
If you have your own training code with TensorFlow, PyTorch or JAX, you run it on Vertex AI. GPU and TPU resources are rented by the hour.
03. Model Deployment
You publish the trained model as a REST API with one click. Auto-scaling, version management, A/B testing — all within the platform.
04. Model Monitoring
Monitoring how the model behaves in the real world is critical. Vertex AI automatically calculates data-drift and prediction-drift metrics.
05. Gemini API
Google's own GenAI model, Gemini, is also accessible via Vertex AI. Fully integrated for prompt engineering, fine-tuning and production use.
