Automation has accelerated agent workflows and now needs broader connections for enterprise data
In the current function calling, if Fireworks AI could be added as part of our RAG system not only with the function calling we are using now but also with a variety of other connections, then an even better situation would be possible. Fireworks is based on tool calling, so it needs to add more different kinds of connections to enable faster data retention and optimization. Although multiple optimal optimization or measurement methodologies for using LLMs are being discussed, when using them inside enterprises, the main thing is actually measuring work handling capability or work processing speed. Based on that, and also through what might be called interviews with business-side staff, we measured the speed improvements in a somewhat indirect manner.

Developed and deployed AI agents through a unified platform that supports integration with enterprise systems
We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models. We have to do some fine-tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and other optimizations to enhance the performance of the AI models. We are not fully leveraging the automation being provided by Google Vertex AI for building AI models. Google Vertex AI has to be enhanced to support agentic AI system development. AI agents have to be developed through Google Vertex AI. Additionally, RAG support, vector database support, knowledge graph support, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, and other enterprise systems need improvement. Automated workflow generation and automation could also be enhanced. At this point, we are completely satisfied with the features and functionalities of Google Vertex AI platform, but as we move towards autonomous systems through agentic AI paradigm, Google Vertex AI platform needs to be improved to facilitate agentic AI system design, development, deployment, monitoring, observability, governance, and security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
"The inference itself works fine, with reasonable model breadth and speed, and my problem is entirely with billing, not the underlying technology."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted my organization by helping my productivity go up."
"Fireworks AI has helped our organization by enabling us to create a platform for artists to sell their art styles."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by making our AI features feel more production-ready instead of experimental."
"Since using Fireworks AI, being part of their startup program has resulted in significant cost savings and has helped accelerate our development timeline."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by increasing our AI response time by twenty to fifty percent, as we now have AI agents and AI features that return answers twenty to fifty percent faster."
"After introducing Fireworks AI's high-speed inference engine, I found that communication speed between agents was about twice as fast as before."
"The best feature of Google Vertex AI is the ease of use, along with the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem and the way models can be made available outside Google through endpoints."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"The integration of AutoML features streamlines our machine-learning workflows."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"The support is perfect and fantastic."
"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
 

Cons

"The only challenge is that Fireworks AI is not a ready-made business application; you have to customize it to suit your organization's taste, and it lacks a user-friendly dashboard, making it very difficult to grasp."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that it is too early to judge any improvements or negative aspects of Fireworks AI, as I am still in the exploration phase."
"Fireworks AI can be improved by addressing that costs can rise at scale."
"Receiving a $40,000 bill out of nowhere, for usage I never knowingly incurred and which my own dashboard does not reflect, has been an extremely stressful experience."
"Fireworks AI could be improved, as documentation could be clearer in some areas, especially around advanced configs."
"One of the things that could improve Fireworks AI is the cost, which I think is really expensive."
"The customer support for Fireworks AI is average."
"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
"I'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."
"Google Vertex AI is quite complex to navigate and to start services with, as I need to do a lot of iterations to finally activate the services, which is one major flaw, although it is powerful."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"Google can improve Google Vertex AI in terms of analysis and accuracy. When passing a very large context, instead of receiving vague responses, it would be better if the system could prompt users not to pass overly large prompts and provide clearer guidance on how to fine-tune Gemini for specific use cases."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
"It takes a considerable amount of time to process, and I understand the technology behind why it takes this long, but this is something that could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price structure is very clear"
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
