Machine Learning for Tabular Data: XGBoost, Deep Learning, and AI

Vertex AI is Google Cloud's managed machine-learning platform for developing, training, deploying, and managing machine-learning models.

How it is used
Deploys trained models behind cloud endpoints and connects them to web applications.
How deep it goes
Traces project setup, artifact import, endpoint deployment, console testing, and Flask integration without detailing platform internals.
Examples
Uses a Kuala Lumpur real-estate classifier, console JSON prediction, and a Flask application adapted from local model serving.
What you can do after
Operate/configure a Vertex AI endpoint and invoke it from a Flask application using the Python SDK.

Starting Data Analytics with Generative AI and Python

Google Cloud's managed platform for developing, deploying, and using machine-learning and generative AI models.

How it is used
Provides programmatic access to Google’s generative models for text, multimodal requests, code generation, and image generation.
How deep it goes
Demonstrates package installation and a Python completion call, but does not detail deployment or broader platform operations.
Examples
Uses pip installation and Python code to call gemini-1.0-pro with generation and harmful-content blocking settings.
What you can do after
Apply it via Python to generate responses from a selected Google model with configurable output and safety behavior.
