Introducing New Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints

Discover the new Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints for low latency, high throughput, and dependable real-time AI inference.

AI developers building cutting-edge applications with huge model sizes need a stable base. Your AI must work reliably and consistently under pressure. Resources must be constructed to avoid being impeded by other users. Vertex AI Prediction Endpoints controlled resource pools used to create AI models for online inference provide a good serving solution, but developers need better approaches to isolate resources and provide consistent performance in the event of shared resource conflict.

Google cloud content will launch Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints to satisfy the needs of modern AI applications, notably those employing big generative AI models.

Dedicated endpoint for big models and generative AI

Serving generative AI and other large-scale models is problematic due to payload size, inference time, interaction, and performance constraints. To construct more reliably with the new Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints, the following functionalities were added:

Vertex AI Endpoints now allow native streaming inference, which simplifies development and architecture for interactive applications like chatbots and real-time content generation. This is doable using these APIs:

Send prompts and receive sequences of replies (such as tokens) as they become available using this bidirectional streaming API function.

Endpoints serving suitable models may expose an interface that complies with the popular OpenAI Chat Completion streaming API standard to decrease migration and encourage interoperability.

The gRPC protocol is now natively supported by endpoints, which is excellent for latency-sensitive applications or high-throughput scenarios in huge models. Protocol Buffers and HTTP/2 help gRPC outperform REST/HTTP.

Flexible request timeouts: Large models take longer to infer. Our API lets us specify variable prediction query timeouts, allowing for more model processing periods than the usual ones.

Optimised resource handling: Private Endpoints and the underlying infrastructure improve stability and performance by controlling big models' CPU/GPU, memory, and network capacity.

Recently integrated features in Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints provide a single, dependable serving solution for heavy AI workloads. Self-deployed models in Vertex AI Model Garden will use Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints by default.

Network optimisation using Private Service Connect

For internet-accessible models, Dedicated Endpoints Public is offered. They're employing Google Cloud Private Service Connect to increase Dedicated Endpoint networking. Dedicated Endpoints Private (PSC) provides a secure and efficient prediction query route. Traffic flows solely over Google Cloud's network using PSC, giving various benefits:

Enhanced security: Requests come from your VPC network, where the endpoint is not accessible to the internet.

Avoiding the public internet reduces latency fluctuation, improving performance.

PSC improves network traffic separation, reducing “noisy neighbour” affects and ensuring performance consistency, especially for high workloads.

Private Endpoints with Private Service Connect are recommended for production applications with high security and consistent latency

Sojern serves models at scale using Vertex AI Prediction Dedicated Endpoints

Hospitality marketing business Sojern links customers with travel agents globally. In their growth ambitions, Sojern considered Vertex AI. Sojern may extend outside their historical domain and focus on innovation by relinquishing their self-managed ML stack.

Sojern's machine learning installations require numerous high-throughput endpoints to be available and agile to allow continuous model evolution due to their operations. Rate limitation from public endpoints would have hurt user experience, and transitioning to a shared VPC architecture would have required a major redesign for current model users.

Private Service Connect (PSC) and Dedicated Endpoint helped Sojern stay inside Public Endpoint limits. Sojern also avoided network overhaul for Shared VPC.

The ability to quickly market tested models, use Dedicated Endpoint's increased feature set, and minimise client latency matched Sojern's goals. With help from Dedicated Endpoint and Private Service Connect, Sojern is onboarding new models and improving accuracy and customer satisfaction.
