EmbeddingGemma 2 is Google DeepMind's open multimodal embedding model, built on the Gemma 4 architecture and released under Apache 2.0. It maps text (including code), images, video and audio into one 768-dimensional space, has 740M parameters in total (270M for text alone) and an 8K-token context, and is designed to run on phones and laptops. Google calls it among the strongest multimodal embedding models under 1B parameters. model card; launch post
