Gated APIs / Cannot access

It appears many of the APIs including the text-to-image API cannot be used unless your Google account has been approved. What is the best way to request access to this? I haven't seen any instructions on how to get approved for this.

  Hi there, after speaking with both teams, this is what they have suggested:

  Approval from Google is required for some Google AI APIs but we've seen a quick turnaround with access being granted within a few days. Please go ahead and request approval and let us know if you don't get it within the week. There are features under Allowlist (https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/image/overview#feature-launch-stage)

  If there are use cases that fall under an allowlist it may be a challenge to get individuals approved under the time needed, but they can request access to be in the trusted tester program in the Cloud Console. Alternatively, if you want to use a 3rd party image model from the Model Garden (https://cloud.google.com/model-garden) you could, but there may be GPU constraints they can try out with other more available GPUs.
  There are samples in this repo (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/vertex-ai-samples/tree/main/notebooks/community/model_garden) with things like Stable Diffusion (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/vertex-ai-samples/blob/main/notebooks/community/model_garden/model_garden_pytorch_stable_diffusion.ipynb).

  If users are able to confirm they are leveraging Vertex AI when doing inference then that should be in scope.
