Understanding GCP and multi-cloud solutions

GCP is extremely focused on ML algorithms and provides a wide variety of technologies to build an analytical model. GCP has also developed its own Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) processor to speed up the adoption of ML. GCP supports ML through the Google Cloud Vertex AI and AutoML services (https://cloud.google.com/products/ai). GCP also supports several models of generative AI (GenAI), such as Gemini.

Google also offers a free development environment for ML called Colab (https://colab.research.google.com/).
