Google releases EmbeddingGemma 2, adding multimodal embeddings on-device
Google launched EmbeddingGemma 2, a follow-up to its original EmbeddingGemma model that reportedly surpassed 20 million downloads. The new 740-million-parameter model is built on the Gemma 4 architecture, released under an Apache 2.0 license, and extends beyond text to embed code, images, video, and audio in a single shared space for on-device inference.
