Prebuilt containers for inference and explanation

Vertex AI provides Docker container images that you run as prebuilt containers for serving inferences and explanations from trained model artifacts. These containers, which are organized by machine learning (ML) framework and framework version, provide HTTP inference servers that you can use to serve inferences with minimal configuration. In many cases, using a prebuilt container is simpler than creating your own custom container for inference.

This document lists the prebuilt containers for inferences and explanations, and it describes how to use them with model artifacts that you created using Vertex AI's custom training functionality or model artifacts that you created outside of Vertex AI.

Support policy and schedule

Vertex AI supports each framework version based on a schedule to minimize security vulnerabilities. Review the Support policy schedule to understand the implications of the end-of-support and end-of-availability dates.

Available container images

Each of the following container images is available in several Artifact Registry repositories, which store data in various locations. You can use any of the URIs for an image when you perform custom training; each provides the same container image. If you use the Google Cloud console to create a Model resource, the Google Cloud console selects the URI that best matches the location where you are using Vertex AI in order to reduce latency.

Use a prebuilt container

You can specify a prebuilt container for inference when you create a custom TrainingPipeline resource that uploads a Model or when you import model artifacts as a Model.

To use one of these prebuilt containers, you must save your model as one or more model artifacts that comply with the requirements of the prebuilt container. For more information, see Export model artifacts for inference.

The following notebooks demonstrate how to use a prebuilt container to serve inferences.

What do you want to do? Notebook
Train and serve a TensorFlow model using a prebuilt container Custom training and online inference
Serve a PyTorch model using a prebuilt container Serving PyTorch image models with prebuilt containers on Vertex AI
Serve a Stable Diffusion model using a prebuilt container Deploy and host a Stable Diffusion model on Vertex AI
