What is Google Vertex AI?
Google Vertex AI is Google Cloud's unified platform for discovering, customizing, and deploying AI models. Its Model Garden catalogs more than 130 models, including Google's own Gemini family alongside partner and open-source models, and supports fine-tuning, evaluation, and one-click deployment for both generative AI and classical machine learning workloads.
Generative AI usage is billed per million input and output tokens, with rates that vary by model, and cheaper batch and context-caching options for non-time-sensitive or repeated workloads. New Google Cloud accounts receive $300 in credit valid for 90 days. Vertex AI also includes Agent Builder, RAG tooling, model monitoring, and enterprise security controls such as IAM and VPC Service Controls.
