Google Vertex AI inference service

edit

Google Vertex AI inference service

edit

Creates an inference endpoint to perform an inference task with the googlevertexai service.

Request

edit

PUT /_inference/<task_type>/<inference_id>

Path parameters

edit

<inference_id>

(Required, string) The unique identifier of the inference endpoint.

<task_type>

(Required, string) The type of the inference task that the model will perform.

Available task types:

rerank
text_embedding.

Request body

edit

service

(Required, string) The type of service supported for the specified task type. In this case, googlevertexai.

service_settings

(Required, object) Settings used to install the inference model.

These settings are specific to the googlevertexai service.

service_account_json

(Required, string) A valid service account in json format for the Google Vertex AI API.

model_id

(Required, string) The name of the model to use for the inference task. You can find the supported models at Text embeddings API.

location

(Required, string) The name of the location to use for the inference task. You find the supported locations at Generative AI on Vertex AI locations.

project_id

(Required, string) The name of the project to use for the inference task.

rate_limit

(Optional, object) By default, the googlevertexai service sets the number of requests allowed per minute to 30.000. This helps to minimize the number of rate limit errors returned from Google Vertex AI. To modify this, set the requests_per_minute setting of this object in your service settings:

"rate_limit": {
    "requests_per_minute": <<number_of_requests>>
}

More information about the rate limits for Google Vertex AI can be found in the Google Vertex AI Quotas docs.

task_settings

(Optional, object) Settings to configure the inference task. These settings are specific to the <task_type> you specified.

task_settings for the rerank task type

top_n: (optional, boolean) Specifies the number of the top n documents, which should be returned.

task_settings for the text_embedding task type

auto_truncate: (optional, boolean) Specifies if the API truncates inputs longer than the maximum token length automatically.

Google Vertex AI service example

edit

The following example shows how to create an inference endpoint called google_vertex_ai_embeddings to perform a text_embedding task type.

resp = client.inference.put(
    task_type="text_embedding",
    inference_id="google_vertex_ai_embeddings",
    inference_config={
        "service": "googlevertexai",
        "service_settings": {
            "service_account_json": "<service_account_json>",
            "model_id": "<model_id>",
            "location": "<location>",
            "project_id": "<project_id>"
        }
    },
)
print(resp)

const response = await client.inference.put({
  task_type: "text_embedding",
  inference_id: "google_vertex_ai_embeddings",
  inference_config: {
    service: "googlevertexai",
    service_settings: {
      service_account_json: "<service_account_json>",
      model_id: "<model_id>",
      location: "<location>",
      project_id: "<project_id>",
    },
  },
});
console.log(response);

PUT _inference/text_embedding/google_vertex_ai_embeddings
{
    "service": "googlevertexai",
    "service_settings": {
        "service_account_json": "<service_account_json>",
        "model_id": "<model_id>",
        "location": "<location>",
        "project_id": "<project_id>"
    }
}

The next example shows how to create an inference endpoint called google_vertex_ai_rerank to perform a rerank task type.

resp = client.inference.put(
    task_type="rerank",
    inference_id="google_vertex_ai_rerank",
    inference_config={
        "service": "googlevertexai",
        "service_settings": {
            "service_account_json": "<service_account_json>",
            "project_id": "<project_id>"
        }
    },
)
print(resp)

const response = await client.inference.put({
  task_type: "rerank",
  inference_id: "google_vertex_ai_rerank",
  inference_config: {
    service: "googlevertexai",
    service_settings: {
      service_account_json: "<service_account_json>",
      project_id: "<project_id>",
    },
  },
});
console.log(response);

PUT _inference/rerank/google_vertex_ai_rerank
{
    "service": "googlevertexai",
    "service_settings": {
        "service_account_json": "<service_account_json>",
        "project_id": "<project_id>"
    }
}
