The Architect's Guide to Production Vector Search with Vertex AI and Cloud Run

Building smart AI apps with semantic search or RAG is accessible, but making them fast, scalable, and cost-effective is the real challenge. This Google Cloud guide helps architects and engineers achieve that. It explores Vertex AI's embedding models, such as gemini-embedding-001, demonstrating how model choice affects performance and cost. The guide also covers RAG and semantic search patterns, emphasizing the optimization of embeddings for specific tasks. You'll learn about efficient vector similarity search using tools like Faiss and ScaNN, and gain a blueprint for deploying workloads on Google Cloud Run, along with best practices for minimizing latency. A FastAPI application example provides a complete, production-ready solution.

Optical Generative AI models

Deep neural networks (DNNs) like the one behind ChatGPT are based on machine learning models that require vast amounts of energy and are usually confined to large data centers. That is motivating the development of new computing paradigms. Using light rather than electrons to run DNN computations has the potential to break through the current bottlenecks.
