Google Cloud Introduces Generative AI Support in Vertex AI

Google has rolled out an updated version of its cloud-based machine learning platform, Vertex AI, which now includes support for generative AI capabilities. This addition makes it easier for individuals and businesses outside the realms of data science and engineering to build advanced generative AI models.

Access to Advanced Generative AI Models

The generative AI support in Vertex AI provides users with access to Google’s extensive generative AI models. These models cover various types of content, including text and conversation, images, code, and text embeddings. Vertex AI allows users to select the model that best suits specific use cases by categorizing them based on their content generation capabilities. One notable generative AI model is PaLM 2, a language model that powers the PaLM API. PaLM 2 offers enhanced multilingual capabilities, reasoning, and coding skills, enabling users to handle language-based tasks with greater efficiency and accuracy.

Harnessing the Power of PaLM API

Vertex AI enables users to leverage the generative capabilities of Google’s PaLM API. This API, driven by large language models (LLMs), generates text and code in response to natural language prompts. It offers specialized functions tailored to different use cases, including:

• PaLM API for Text: Optimized for language tasks.
• PaLM API for Conversation: Designed for multi-turn dialogues.
• Text Embedding API: Produces vector embeddings for input text.
• Codey APIs: Include models for code generation, code completion suggestions, and code-related queries.

Democratizing AI: Accessibility & Simplicity

By adding generative capabilities to Vertex AI, Google aims to democratize technology, making it accessible to more people. The platform features an intuitive interface, including the Generative AI Studio, which can be used without extensive technical knowledge. Generative AI Studio focuses on low-code implementation, meaning that Google’s foundational multimodal models, including PaLM, Imagen, Codey, and Chirp, can be integrated into applications with minimal code. Developers, even those without a background in machine learning, can leverage this technology without worrying about the complexity of provisioning storage and computing resources.

Efficiency & Flexibility

While using Vertex AI involves costs, Google Cloud offers various pricing options and flexibility to meet different user needs. This ensures that individuals or small businesses with limited resources won’t face significant upfront investments.
