There is an API for the underlying model, it's just in alpha/beta/whatever they call limited invite-only release and you have to ask your devrel team to get access. I'm guessing we'll see better models very soon.
Google is, as usual, playing catch-up, but I have no doubt once the machine gets cranking they'll be fully competitive, at least similar to how GCP is now a totally viable AWS alternative. They never lead the pack because they can't (lawyers, regulation, monopoly, etc), but they know how to commit and execute.
