Vertex AI is a Google Cloud fully managed machine learning platform that brings together the development, deployment, and management of AI models into one platform. The integration of data engineering, data science, and ML engineering workflows enables teams to work together with the same platform and build applications with the benefit of Google Cloud's scale.
Vertex AI enables users to train, validate, and deploy machine learning models quickly and simply. It offers a host of tools and features, including Vertex AI Studio, allowing for low-code rapid prototyping; Agent Builder for creating AI agents; and access to over 200 foundation models. It provides AutoML for newcomers and custom model training for more advanced users, thereby accommodating multiple levels of experience and using as much or as little effort as a user needs. By offering a cohesive platform that "kills all aspects of the machine learning lifecycle," Vertex AI makes it possible to position users for rapid AI adoption, allows for collaboration between teams, and essentially takes the complexity out of model deployment and management at scale.
