Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the AI Platform Training & Prediction API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the AI Platform Training & Prediction API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

For Agents

Train custom ML models, deploy versions, and serve online predictions or explanations from the original AI Platform Training & Prediction service.

Use for: Run an online prediction against an AI Platform model version, Get feature attributions for a prediction via the explain endpoint, Set a model version as the default for a model, Submit a hyperparameter trial measurement to an existing study

Not supported: Does not handle Vertex AI Pipelines, Matching Engine, or generative AI endpoints - use for AI Platform Training & Prediction models, versions, jobs, and hyperparameter trials only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use AI Platform Training & Prediction API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Online prediction serving

Deploy a trained model to AI Platform and call the predict endpoint to score requests in real time. The endpoint accepts JSON instances and returns the model's predictions, with autoscaling and version routing handled by the platform. Useful for teams maintaining existing AI Platform deployments rather than migrating to Vertex AI.

Call predict on projects/acme/models/churn/versions/v3 with a JSON payload of customer feature instances and capture the prediction array

Hyperparameter tuning trials

Drive a hyperparameter study by submitting trial measurements via addMeasurement, marking trials complete, and consulting checkEarlyStoppingState to abort underperforming trials. The study and trial endpoints support custom search algorithms running outside AI Platform that still want to use the platform's coordination primitives.

Add a measurement to trial projects/acme/locations/us-central1/studies/lr-search/trials/12 with stepCount 50 and metrics validation_loss=0.42, then check early stopping state

Model explainability for compliance

Use the explain endpoint alongside predict so that customer-facing decisions can be paired with feature attributions, useful in regulated domains where every model decision must be auditable. Attributions reflect the explainability config attached to the model version.

Call explain on projects/acme/models/credit/versions/v2 with the same instance payload used for predict and return both prediction and attributions

Agent integration via Jentic

AI agents that orchestrate ML pipelines on legacy AI Platform deployments can use this API through Jentic to run predictions, manage versions, and drive hyperparameter searches without holding the OAuth refresh token in their prompt.

List versions of model projects/acme/models/churn and set the version with the highest deployedAt timestamp as default via setDefault

Key Endpoints

29 endpoints — ai platform training & prediction is google cloud's earlier-generation managed service for training custom machine learning models and serving online and batch predictions.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your Google OAuth credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'run an online prediction' or 'add a hyperparameter trial measurement', and Jentic returns the matching AI Platform operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using AI Platform Training & Prediction API through Jentic.

What authentication does the AI Platform API use?

The API uses Google OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope. Through Jentic, OAuth credentials are held in the encrypted vault and the agent receives only a short-lived bearer token, never the refresh token.

Can I get feature attributions alongside predictions?

Yes, the explain endpoint returns attributions according to the explainability config attached to the model version. It accepts the same instance payload as predict, so you can call both for the same request when you need an auditable decision.

What are the rate limits for the AI Platform API?

Online prediction has its own per-project queries-per-minute quota separate from training and batch jobs, listed under the AI Platform service in the Cloud Console quotas page. High-throughput serving usually requires requesting a quota increase.

How do I run an online prediction through Jentic?

Search Jentic for run online prediction on ai platform, load the predict operation that maps to /v1/{+name}:predict, and execute with the model version resource name and a JSON instances payload. Jentic injects the OAuth bearer for the call.

Should I be using Vertex AI instead?

For new workloads, Google recommends Vertex AI, which supersedes AI Platform with a unified API for training, prediction, pipelines, and matching engine. AI Platform remains supported for existing deployments and is the right choice when you are not yet ready to migrate.

Is the AI Platform API free?

The API itself is not separately billed; you pay for prediction node-hours, training compute, and Vizier study usage. See the AI Platform pricing page for current rates by region and machine type.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Google AI Platform API?

Yes. Because your Jentic One instance is self-hosted, your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the AI Platform API carries the model, version, or job name in the URL path, you can pin the agent to a single model or job so it can only run predict and explain there and nothing else. You also choose the exact operations it may call, so sensitive ones like setting a default version or cancelling a training job stay off-limits unless you add them.
