Google officially released EmbeddingGemma 2, its first natively multimodal open embedding model engineered for on-device use. Built on the Gemma 4 architecture and licensed under Apache 2.0, it unifies images, video, audio, and code in a single embedding space — a notable shift beyond text-only embeddings for on-device retrieval and multimodal search.
