Google Completes Vertex AI Retirement: Console Now Shows Only Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

RoboRhythms·medium signal

As of May 21, 2026, 'Vertex AI' no longer appears in the Google Cloud Console — searching for it redirects to the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Model training, AutoML, Model Registry, and Endpoints are now sub-features under the agent-first hierarchy. This isn't just a rebrand: Google is positioning agents as the primary container for AI development, with model serving becoming a subordinate capability rather than the main product.
