If you want to learn more about Vertex AI, check the documentation: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/start.

You can accelerate the learning process, since a range of CPU, GPU, and Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) nodes are supported. It works with multiple frameworks, but the most popular is TensorFlow. As TensorFlow is open source, it allows for portability. Models can be trained locally on limited data and then...
