BigQuery Machine Learning allows you to use large language models (LLMs) like Gemini for tasks such as entity extraction, sentiment analysis, and more using SQL syntax.
Support for open-source LLMs from Vertex AI Model Garden, including models from Hugging Face, is now available, providing developers with a wider model selection.
Integration example using the Meta Llama 3.3 70B model demonstrates the process, but any of over 170K text generation models from Hugging Face can be used following similar steps.
Steps involve hosting the model on a Vertex endpoint and creating a remote model in BigQuery to allow inference.
Performing inference involves extracting structured data from unstructured transcripts, as shown with a medical transcripts dataset example.
Create a table in BigQuery to analyze the data, and use the Llama model for data extraction with SQL statements.
Analytics can be performed on the results to gain insights, such as identifying common diseases in specific demographics.
Utilize the output from the Llama endpoint for further analysis and querying, such as identifying common diseases in females above 30 years of age.
