Pricing is based on the Vertex AI tools and services, storage, compute, and Google Cloud resources used.
Out the gate, Vertex just seemed to be more accurate on command with our prompts. We spent less time versus other platforms getting exactly what we wanted. Google's UI is way more robust, too, with how you can configure the exact settings you want when doing image generation. …
we used Vertex AI on our automation process the model very useful and working as expected we have implemented in our monitoring phase this very helpful our analysis part. real time response is very effective and actively provide detailed overview about our products.this phase is well suited in our org. this model could not applicable for small level projects why because this model not needed for small level projects and without related resource of ML this model not useful. strictly on non cloud org not suitable means on pram not suitable
For smaller organizations that run lean and would like to get to deploy a solution quickly. This is a solution that is easy and quick to develop. It has a good amount of customization. However, for advanced customization this might not be a good solution. I suggest experimenting with OpenAI API and then if the experimentation is successful then it is a good idea to optimize and try other LLM models.
Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers
Easy to setup, develop and deploy. The payload for the API is simple and has all the inputs required for simple projects. There are a good number of options of LLM models to optimize for speed, cost or quality of the answers. A larger token input might improve the overall usability.
Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.
We tend to adapt and use the platform that suits the customers needs the best. We return to Vertex AI because it is the most in-depth option out there so we can configure it any which way they want. However, it is not quick to market and constantly changing or updating it's feature-set. This makes it suitable for bigger customers that have the capital and time to spend on a bigger project that is well researched and not quick to market like some of the other options that feel like a light-version of this.
Anthropic is only the best for coding and its really really expensive. So, if you're not making a coding app, I would stay away from it. On the other hand, Gemini models are dirt cheap but come with a bit of performance limitations, so i would use it for big volume non sofisticated use cases. The OpenAI API platform excels at providing best in class performance models, at not outrageous anthropic-like pricing.
