Gemini 1.5 Flash fine tuning with Vertex AI

Community

In anticipation of the Gemini 1.5 Flash capabilities, we developed a tuning pipeline following the supervised fine tuning instructions in the VertexAI platform documentation. Almost all of this pipeline revolved around the vertexai library, and took advantage of additional cloud resources like GCS for storing training/validation datasets.

Unfortunately, it looks like gemini 1.5 tuning can only be completed through the google.generativeai library. This is a little disruptive for us, because the pipeline will need to be rewritten to use the generativeai library.

Is there any plan to bring Gemini 1.5 flash tuning into the vertex platform? This would save a lot of development effort.

I can’t speak for Google, but I strongly suspect that, yes, gemini-1.5-flash will get a tuneable version on Vertex AI. My guess it will work much the same as the current preview of gemini-1.0-pro tuneable system.

Thank you for the response! I hope you’re correct, I think I prefer the vertex approach to supervised fine tuning.
