In May 2025, BigQuery ML introduced the ability to perform supervised tuning on remote models based on Vertex AI’s Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash Lite models. This integration allows data scientists to fine-tune advanced models directly within BigQuery, streamlining the machine learning workflow and reducing the need for data movement. Users can optimise model performance using their datasets by leveraging the function. This development enhances BigQuery’s capabilities as a unified platform for data analysis and machine learning.
