Google Vertex AI Review 2026 — Enterprise Gemini API and ML Platform

Google Vertex AI is the complete Google Cloud ML platform with enterprise Gemini API, 150+ models, AutoML, and Vertex AI Search. HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant.

Google Vertex AI Review 2026 — Enterprise Gemini API and ML Platform

Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, formerly Vertex AI, gives developers tools to build agents and model-based applications, access foundation models, connect private data, train and tune models, and deploy workloads.

It is used by developers, data scientists, and machine-learning teams. Agent Studio supports low-code development, while the Agent Development Kit, Model Garden, RAG Engine, notebooks, pipelines, model registry, monitoring, and observability support code-based and production workflows.

There is no simple subscription tier. Costs are usage-based across models, compute, storage, pipelines, vector search, and other Google Cloud resources. New customers can receive up to $300 in credits.

Features

  • Build agents with the low-code Agent Studio or the Agent Development Kit
  • Access Google, third-party, and open-source models through Model Garden
  • Connect private enterprise data to models with RAG Engine
  • Train, tune, deploy, and monitor machine-learning models
  • Use Colab Enterprise or Workbench notebooks for development and experimentation
  • Manage models with Model Registry, Pipelines, Feature Store, and Model Monitoring
  • Govern agents with Agent Identity, Agent Gateway, and Agent Registry
  • Integrate with Google Cloud through the Agent Platform API and CLI

Use cases

  • Build and deploy enterprise AI agents
  • Ground model responses in private company data
  • Train and tune custom machine-learning models
  • Evaluate, monitor, and improve models in production
  • Orchestrate repeatable machine-learning workflows
  • Develop and test agents in notebooks or local coding tools
