Google Vertex AI
================

Langchain.js supports two different authentication methods based on whether you're running in a Node.js environment or a web environment.

Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")
---------------------------------------

### Node.js[​](#nodejs "Direct link to Node.js")

To call Vertex AI models in Node, you'll need to install the `@langchain/google-vertexai` package:

tip

See [this section for general instructions on installing integration packages](/v0.1/docs/get_started/installation/#installing-integration-packages).

*   npm
*   Yarn
*   pnpm

    npm install @langchain/google-vertexai

    yarn add @langchain/google-vertexai

    pnpm add @langchain/google-vertexai

You should make sure the Vertex AI API is enabled for the relevant project and that you've authenticated to Google Cloud using one of these methods:

*   You are logged into an account (using `gcloud auth application-default login`) permitted to that project.
*   You are running on a machine using a service account that is permitted to the project.
*   You have downloaded the credentials for a service account that is permitted to the project and set the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable to the path of this file. **or**
*   You set the `GOOGLE_API_KEY` environment variable to the API key for the project.

### Web[​](#web "Direct link to Web")

To call Vertex AI models in web environments (like Edge functions), you'll need to install the `@langchain/google-vertexai-web` package:

*   npm
*   Yarn
*   pnpm

    npm install @langchain/google-vertexai-web

    yarn add @langchain/google-vertexai-web

    pnpm add @langchain/google-vertexai-web

Then, you'll need to add your service account credentials directly as a `GOOGLE_VERTEX_AI_WEB_CREDENTIALS` environment variable:

    GOOGLE_VERTEX_AI_WEB_CREDENTIALS={"type":"service_account","project_id":"YOUR_PROJECT-12345",...}

You can also pass your credentials directly in code like this:

    import { VertexAI } from "@langchain/google-vertexai";// Or uncomment this line if you're using the web version:// import { VertexAI } from "@langchain/google-vertexai-web";const model = new VertexAI({  authOptions: {    credentials: {"type":"service_account","project_id":"YOUR_PROJECT-12345",...},  },});

Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")
---------------------------------------

The entire family of `gemini` models are available by specifying the `modelName` parameter.

    import { VertexAI } from "@langchain/google-vertexai";// Or, if using the web entrypoint:// import { VertexAI } from "@langchain/google-vertexai-web";const model = new VertexAI({  temperature: 0.7,});const res = await model.invoke(  "What would be a good company name for a company that makes colorful socks?");console.log({ res });/*{  res: '* Hue Hues\n' +    '* Sock Spectrum\n' +    '* Kaleidosocks\n' +    '* Threads of Joy\n' +    '* Vibrant Threads\n' +    '* Rainbow Soles\n' +    '* Colorful Canvases\n' +    '* Prismatic Pedals\n' +    '* Sock Canvas\n' +    '* Color Collective'} */

### Streaming[​](#streaming "Direct link to Streaming")

Streaming in multiple chunks is supported for faster responses:

    import { VertexAI } from "@langchain/google-vertexai";// Or, if using the web entrypoint:// import { VertexAI } from "@langchain/google-vertexai-web";const model = new VertexAI({  temperature: 0.7,});const stream = await model.stream(  "What would be a good company name for a company that makes colorful socks?");for await (const chunk of stream) {  console.log("\n---------\nChunk:\n---------\n", chunk);}/*---------Chunk:--------- * Kaleidoscope Toes* Huephoria* Soleful Spectrum*---------Chunk:---------  Colorwave Hosiery* Chromatic Threads* Rainbow Rhapsody* Vibrant Soles* Toe-tally Colorful* Socktacular Hues*---------Chunk:---------  Threads of Joy---------Chunk:---------*/
