Deploying open models from Hugging Face on Vertex AI just got even more powerful! 💪 With custom handlers, you can: 📍 Handle unique dependencies (like those with diffusion models) 📍 Manage complex transformations (like converting images to specific formats) 📍 Integrate with external services (like fetching LoRA weights from cloud storage) If you want to learn more about better controlling and customization of your inference pipeline, Álvaro and I publish a blog post and notebook about how to custom handler to serve Google PaliGemma model for image captioning on Vertex AI! 📚 Blog: https://lnkd.in/d7K8pbV2 🔗 Notebook: https://lnkd.in/dKC-vSXC Happy coding 😃 --- Stay tuned 🔔! More content about open models on Vertex AI is coming 😉 And if you find this post helpful 🔥, like, share and let’s connect if you have questions 🤗 #VertexAI #HuggingFace #DeepLearning #AI #ML #CustomHandlers #InferencePipeline #CloudTechnology
