Vertex AI is a unified machine learning (ML) platform from Google Cloud that provides tools for the entire ML workflow, from data preparation to model deployment and monitoring. It combines Google's existing ML offerings into a single environment to help data scientists and ML engineers efficiently build and manage ML projects.
Key features of Vertex AI include:
- Unified UI and API for all AI-related Google Cloud services
- Integration with open source frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow
- Pre-trained APIs for video, vision, natural language processing
- AutoML for training models with minimal expertise
- End-to-end data and AI integration with BigQuery, Dataproc, Dataflow
Vertex AI supports two main model training options:
- AutoML: Trains models on tabular, image, text or video data without writing code
- Custom training: Gives full control over the training process using preferred ML frameworks and custom code
After training, Vertex AI provides tools for model evaluation, deployment, monitoring and explainability. It is suitable for businesses looking to productionize ML workflows, consolidate ML tools, and develop AI systems with managed infrastructure.
Some key use cases include using Vertex AI's data labeling, feature store, pipelines, prediction and explainable AI capabilities to build production-ready ML models. The platform aims to make AI accessible to both ML experts and novices.
