A financial services company uses Vertex AI AutoML Tables to build a credit risk model. The dataset contains 500,000 rows and 50 features, including loan amount, credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and employment length. The target variable is binary: 'default' (1) or 'no default' (0). The data is highly imbalanced, with only 2% defaults. The data scientist trains a model with AutoML Tables using default settings. The evaluation metrics show an AUC of 0.85, but the confusion matrix reveals that the model predicts 'no default' for almost all cases, missing most defaults. The data scientist needs to improve the model's ability to identify defaults without significantly increasing false positives. They have limited time and cannot write custom code.

A company is using AutoML Tables to build a fraud detection model. The dataset has 10 million rows with 100 features, heavily imbalanced (fraud cases 0.1%). They used AutoML Tables with default settings and achieved high precision but very low recall. They need to deploy the model for real-time scoring on a Vertex AI Endpoint. The model will be used by a transaction processing system that requires low latency (<100 ms per prediction) and high throughput. The team is concerned about cost as the endpoint will receive up to 5,000 predictions per second. After deploying the model, they notice that the endpoint's latency occasionally spikes to over 1 second during peak hours. The team wants to optimize both model performance (recall) and serving performance. Which course of action should they take?
