Fully managed ML tools allow you to build, deploy and scale machine-learning (ML) models quickly, for any use case. Vertex AI Workbench is natively integrated with BigQuery Dataproc and Spark. You can use BigQuery to create and execute machine-learning models in BigQuery by using standard SQL queries and spreadsheets or you can export datasets directly from BigQuery into Vertex AI Workbench to run your models there. Vertex Data Labeling can be used to create highly accurate labels for data collection. Vertex AI Agent Builder empowers developers to design and deploy advanced generative AI applications for enterprise use. It supports both no-code and code-driven development, enabling users to create AI agents through natural language prompts or by integrating with frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex.

Mistral AI has introduced "les Ministraux", two advanced models, for on-device computing applications and edge applications. These models are Ministral 3B (the Ministraux) and Ministral 8B (the Ministraux). These models excel at knowledge, commonsense logic, function-calling and efficiency in the sub-10B parameter area. They can handle up to 128k contexts and are suitable for a variety of applications, such as on-device translations, offline smart assistants and local analytics. Ministral 8B has an interleaved sliding window attention pattern that allows for faster and memory-efficient inference. Both models can be used as intermediaries for multi-step agentic processes, handling tasks such as input parsing and task routing and API calls with low latency. Benchmark evaluations show that les Ministraux consistently performs better than comparable models in multiple tasks. Both models will be available as of October 16, 2024. Ministral 8B is priced at $0.1 for every million tokens.
