Innovate Faster with Enterprise-Ready Vertex AI, Available through the Google Cloud and Enhanced by Gemini models.

Vertex AI offers access through the Google Cloud to Gemini models, which are capable of understanding virtually any input, combining different types of information, and generating almost any output.

Learn how to prompt and test in Vertex AI with Gemini, using text, images, video, or code.

With Gemini’s advanced reasoning and state-of-the-art generation capabilities, developers can try sample prompts for extracting text from images, convert image text to JSON, and even generate answers about uploaded images to build next-gen AI applications.

In addition to Gemini, you can access and deploy Gemma, a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open source models, built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
