EmbeddingGemma 2
Google releases a 740M-parameter multimodal embedding model for local text, code, image, audio and video retrieval.
Why it matters
Apache 2.0 weights, optional encoders and 128-768 dimensional embeddings support offline multimodal search; Google's reported performance claims are not independently verified.
What you could build with it
Build an offline searchable travel-document and media library that retrieves photos, PDFs and voice notes with one text query.
