Google models on Vertex Artificial Intelligence

A concise guide to Google generative Artificial Intelligence models on Vertex Artificial Intelligence, outlining featured Gemini releases, Gemma open models, image and video models, embeddings, and MedLM variants.

This page catalogs Google generative Artificial Intelligence models available on Vertex Artificial Intelligence and in Model Garden. Featured Gemini releases include 3 Pro, 2.5 Pro, and 2.5 Flash. Gemini 3 Pro is listed as preview and is described as designed for comprehensive multimodal understanding and complex problem solving, featuring a 1 million token context window and capabilities for agentic workflows and autonomous coding. Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash are positioned for complex reasoning and cost-performance balance respectively, with 2.5 Flash offering Live API support for some endpoints and tools that provide insight into the model’s thinking process.

The document lists generally available and preview Gemini models, including Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, and preview models such as Gemini 3 Pro Image and Gemini 2.5 Flash Live API. It also describes the Gemma family as open models. Gemma entries include Gemma 3n, Gemma 3, Gemma 2, Gemma, ShieldGemma 2, PaliGemma, CodeGemma, TxGemma, MedGemma, MedSigLIP, and T5Gemma, with details such as Gemma 3n supporting multimodal input (text, image, video, and audio) and text output in over 140 languages, and Gemma 3 offering a 128K context window and multilingual support.

Additional families covered include embeddings models (Embeddings for Text and Multimodal Embeddings), Imagen image generation models (Imagen 4 for Generation, Imagen 4 for Fast Generation, Imagen 4 for Ultra Generation, and Imagen 3 variants), Veo video generation models (Veo 2 Generate, Veo 3 Generate, Veo 3 Fast, Veo 3.1 Generate, and previews), and MedLM models (MedLM-medium and MedLM-large-large) noted as HIPAA-compliant options for medical question answering and summarization. The page points readers to Model Garden in the Google Cloud console to explore, test, customize, and deploy models, and references model versions and lifecycle information and pricing resources on Vertex Artificial Intelligence.

Mustafa Suleyman says Artificial Intelligence compute growth is still accelerating

Mustafa Suleyman argues that Artificial Intelligence development is being propelled by simultaneous advances in chips, memory, networking, and software efficiency rather than nearing a hard limit. He contends that rising compute capacity and falling deployment costs will push systems beyond chatbots toward more capable agents.

China and the US are leading different Artificial Intelligence races

The US leads in large language models and advanced chips, while China has built a major advantage in robotics and humanoid manufacturing. That balance is shifting as Chinese developers narrow the gap in model performance and both countries push to combine software and machines.

Congress weighs Artificial Intelligence transparency rules

Bipartisan lawmakers are pushing a federal transparency standard for the largest Artificial Intelligence models as Congress works on a broader national framework. The proposal aims to increase public trust while avoiding stricter state-by-state requirements and heavier regulation.

Report finds California creative job losses are not driven by Artificial Intelligence

New research from Otis College of Art and Design finds California’s recent creative industry job losses stem from cost pressures and structural shifts, not direct worker displacement by generative Artificial Intelligence. The technology is changing workflows and expectations, but it is largely replacing tasks rather than entire jobs.

U.S. senators propose broader chip tool export ban for Chinese firms

A bipartisan proposal in the U.S. Senate would shift semiconductor equipment controls from specific fabs to targeted Chinese companies and their affiliates. The measure is aimed at cutting off access to advanced lithography and other wafer fabrication tools for firms such as Huawei, SMIC, YMTC, CXMT, and Hua Hong.
