Vertex AI
Vertex AI is a unified machine learning platform by Google Cloud that enables developers and data scientists to build, deploy, and scale ML models. It provides tools for the entire ML lifecycle, including data preparation, training, evaluation, and serving, with integrated MLOps capabilities. The platform supports various frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn, and offers pre-trained models and AutoML for automated model development.
Developers should use Vertex AI when working on machine learning projects in Google Cloud, as it streamlines the ML workflow by reducing the complexity of managing infrastructure and tools. It is ideal for scenarios requiring scalable model deployment, such as real-time predictions in applications, batch processing for large datasets, or when leveraging Google's pre-trained models for tasks like vision or natural language processing. The platform's MLOps features help in maintaining model performance and governance in production environments.
