Claude with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI

Introduction

Anthropic's Claude models are now accessible through Google Cloud's Vertex AI, enabling seamless integration into Google’s robust AI and ML infrastructure. This collaboration brings together the power of Claude’s safe, steerable large language models with the enterprise-grade tooling, scalability, and security of Vertex AI.

What is Vertex AI?

Vertex AI is Google Cloud’s unified AI platform for building, deploying, and managing machine learning models. It simplifies the end-to-end ML workflow, including training, tuning, and serving models at scale. By incorporating Claude into Vertex AI, businesses and developers can access cutting-edge conversational AI while benefiting from the cloud-native features of Google Cloud, such as IAM, billing, monitoring, and integration with other GCP services.

Benefits of Using Claude on Vertex AI

Deploying Claude through Vertex AI offers several advantages. First, it allows organizations already operating within Google Cloud to use Claude without managing separate APIs or infrastructure. It also enables advanced MLOps capabilities—such as version control, audit logs, and usage monitoring—while keeping data within the same cloud ecosystem. Most importantly, users can combine Claude’s language intelligence with structured data, embeddings, or custom logic hosted on Google Cloud.

Integration and Workflow

Through the Vertex AI Model Garden, Claude is available as a pre-integrated foundation model. Developers can test Claude directly in the console using chat-style interfaces, then deploy it into production pipelines via Vertex AI’s Python SDK or REST API. Workflows can be connected with BigQuery, Cloud Functions, or other microservices, allowing Claude to serve as the language layer in a broader AI system.

Enterprise and Security Features

Using Claude within Vertex AI ensures compliance with Google Cloud’s enterprise security standards. Organizations gain control over access using IAM policies, can encrypt data at rest and in transit, and benefit from Google’s global reliability and service-level guarantees. Additionally, all usage remains within the organization’s cloud boundaries, supporting governance and auditability.

Use Cases

Claude on Vertex AI can be used across a variety of enterprise scenarios: drafting business documents, summarizing customer interactions, powering chatbots, or extracting insights from unstructured data. Combined with Vertex AI’s orchestration tools, Claude becomes a powerful component in automated workflows that span across cloud services and data lakes.
