The Enterprise AI Platform
Google Vertex AI is a fully managed machine learning platform that allows you to train and deploy ML models and AI applications. It unifies Google Cloud's ML offerings into a single environment.
🔄 April 2026 Rebrand: At Cloud Next 2026, Google officially rebranded Vertex AI as the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform — a unified control plane for building, scaling, governing, and optimizing AI agents at enterprise scale. The underlying APIs, SDKs, and services remain compatible.
Key Components:
- Agent Studio: A new low-code interface for building and testing agents using natural language (replaces the legacy Vertex AI Studio).
- Agent Designer: Create sophisticated schedule- or trigger-based agents and long-running agents for complex business processes.
- Model Garden: A massive library containing Google's foundation models (Gemini 3.1, Imagen) alongside open-source models (Llama 4, Gemma) and third-party models (Claude Opus 4.7).
- Agentic Data Cloud: An AI-native architecture with a Knowledge Catalog for grounding agents in trusted business context.
