Build richer gen AI experiences using model endpoint management

Model endpoint management is available on AlloyDB, AlloyDB Omni and Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL. Model endpoint management helps developers to build new experiences using SQL and provides a flexible interface to call gen AI models running anywhere — right from the database. You can generate embeddings inside the database, perform quality control on your vector […]

Announcing BigQuery repositories: Git-based collaboration in BigQuery Studio

Modern data teams want to use Git to collaborate effectively and adopt software engineering best practices for managing their data pipelines and analytics code. But most tools used by data teams don’t offer integration with Git version control systems, making a Git workflow feel out of reach. This forces users to copy and paste code

Using RDMA over Converged Ethernet networking for AI on Google Cloud

All workloads are not the same. This is especially the case for AI, ML, and scientific workloads. In this blog we show how Google Cloud makes the RDMA over converged ethernet version 2 (RoCE v2) protocol available for high performance workloads. Traditional workloads Network communication in traditional workloads involves a well-known flow. This includes: Movement
