Engineering teams on Google Cloud get Vertex AI under a new name, plus Claude and open models; costs are usage-based and easy to underestimate.
Kenning's take
What it does
Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is Google Cloud's developer platform for building, deploying and governing AI agents and models. It absorbed Vertex AI in April 2026, renaming its parts, and offers Gemini, Anthropic Claude and open models such as Gemma, plus tuning, evaluation and notebooks. Antigravity is available through it for orchestrating agents.
