Foundation model API platform Direct match
The Google Cloud equivalent of Amazon Bedrock is Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI): Gemini models plus partner models such as Claude and Grok offered as managed APIs through Model Garden.
- Vertex AI was renamed Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform on Apr 22, 2026. SDKs, IAM roles, and API hostnames still use the aiplatform / Vertex AI names.
- First-party models are Google's Gemini, Gemma, Veo, and Lyria. Bedrock's first-party family is Amazon Nova.
- Partner models (for example Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, Mistral) are managed APIs in Model Garden. Open models (for example Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen) can be deployed to your own endpoints.
Open-weight model hub on dedicated compute Direct match
SageMaker JumpStart and Bedrock Marketplace map to Model Garden, which lists Google, partner, and open models and deploys open models to managed endpoints.
- Model Garden mixes managed partner APIs (pay per token) and self-deployed open models (pay for endpoint nodes) in one catalog. AWS splits these between Bedrock Marketplace and JumpStart.
- Deployed open models run on Agent Platform inference endpoints with GPUs or TPUs; JumpStart deploys to SageMaker endpoints.
