Google announces upgrade of machine learning platform 'Vertex AI', making it easier to build applications using generative AI

On August 29, 2023 local time, Google announced an increase in the number of compatible models for its machine learning platform '

Vertex AI ' that makes AI development and operation easy, and the addition of functions to support companies in building apps using generative AI. Did.

Google announced at the annual developer event '

Google Cloud Next'23 ' that it will expand the functionality of Vertex AI, which allows for collaboration and customization of underlying models with corporate data.

' Model Garden ', which is responsible for cataloging generative AI models in Vertex AI, has expanded its functionality to include the open source large-scale language model ' Falcon ', Meta's ' Llama 2 ', coding support AI ' Code Llama ', Anthropic 's Support for chat AI ' Claude 2 ' etc. will be added.

With this addition of support, Vertex AI now supports over 100 generative AI models. Google Cloud is emphasizing ``making Vertex AI an open ecosystem,'' and by supporting a number of major underlying models used in generative AI, users and companies can customize the use of the individual applications they want to develop. It is possible to select the optimal platform model and proceed with development on a single platform called Vertex AI.

In addition, Google announced a new Vertex AI extension called 'Vertex AI Extensions.' By introducing Vertex AI Extensions, you can easily use extensions built by customers via API, extensions provided by Google, and extensions developed and provided by third-party companies for generative AI, etc. that you are developing yourself. can be introduced. 'The use cases for Vertex AI Extensions are virtually limitless,' Google said, adding that the extensions it developed can be used to incorporate internal codebases and analyze security threats facing businesses in real time. We introduce the mechanism by which this can be detected.

Additionally, Google announced upgrades to its large-scale language model ``

PaLM 2 '', PaLM 2's derivative language model `` Codey '', and image generation AI `` Imagen ''.

PaLM 2, a large-scale language model, supports 38 languages including Japanese, and the context window has been expanded to 32,000 tokens. This upgrade not only allows AI to feed large amounts of information, including proprietary company data, research papers, and books, but also provides higher-quality answers than before. He said.

Codey, which generates code, claims that the quality of generated code has improved by up to 25% in major development languages.

Imagen, an image generation AI, has announced a tool called `` SynthID '' that adds digital watermarks to generated images, and it is now possible to upload multiple images and instruct them to generate similar images. Furthermore, after the image is generated, it is now possible to edit the image, such as making it look like a watercolor painting.
