AIOllama announced that Google DeepMind's EmbeddingGemma 2 is now available on Ollama. The author describes it as made for consumer devices and multimodal, and gives the command ollama pull embeddinggemma-2 to download it. The quoted DeepMind post says the model is a natively multimodal open model for on-device embeddings that unifies code, images, audio, and video in a shared space.

AIGamma announces Gamma 5, a rebuilt version of its presentation platform that it says overhauls how the product thinks, designs, and edits. The company says the release addresses concerns that AI-generated output looked too similar across tools, and it revamps the agent, design tools, editing, import, export, and connectors.

AIPerplexity cut its Decision API input pricing by half, to $0.02 per million input tokens. The reduction follows the release of pplx-decider-v1.1-27b, an open-weights multimodal decision model that scores highest on Hugging Face's Decision Index 0.3 benchmark. The model costs half as much as v1.

AIPerplexity's Computer can generate an interactive 3D preview of a design and export it as an editable CAD file. It can also modify the design in FreeCAD and record a video of the edits.
