Google releases EmbeddingGemma 2, a 740M open multimodal embedding model
Google DeepMind says it maps text, code, images, audio and video into one space, needs about 191MB of active RAM for text when quantized, and ships under Apache 2.0.
Why it matters: It brings search and RAG on device, without sending data out. Google says its MTEB Code score rose from 68.76 to 78.68.
