Locations Available For Text-Bison Other Than us-central1

Hi there,

I have recently started using the Vertex text predictions API, specifically the text-bison model. I can’t find any information on what locations are supported for this endpoint. In all the tutorials they use us-central1.

I can view the Vertex locations here: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/general/locations but not text-bison locations. When I try to use any other locations in my API requests I get an error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

text-bison is a foundational model for GenAI and the list of regions for Foundational Models can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/model-reference/overview#available_regions

For now, text-bison is only available via us-central1 region.

Thanks for your reply - do you have any idea when we can expect additional region support?
