Google retires Vertex AI, replacing it with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.
Google has officially retired Vertex AI, its AI development platform since 2021, and replaced it with the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This move was announced at Google Cloud Next 2026, where the company rebranded and consolidated its AI platform. The new platform brings together the model selection, model building, and tuning services of Vertex AI, along with new features for agent integration, security, DevOps, and orchestration.
This development matters as it signals Google's shift towards agential AI, which enables more advanced and autonomous AI capabilities. The Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is designed to support the creation of AI agents that can understand and generate virtually any input and output. This has significant implications for businesses and developers looking to leverage AI in their operations.
As we look to the future, it will be important to watch how the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform evolves and how it compares to other AI platforms, such as those offered by OpenAI and Anthropic. Google's investment in Anthropic, announced earlier this week, may also be related to the development of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and it will be interesting to see how these two initiatives intersect. With the launch of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Google is making a bold bet on the future of AI, and it will be worth monitoring the impact of this move on the industry.
