Google releases EmbeddingGemma 2, a multimodal embedding model for on-device search
Original titleBring multimodal semantic search to the edge with EmbeddingGemma 2
AISummary
Google DeepMind launched EmbeddingGemma 2, an open-weight 740M parameter model that maps text, images, video frames, and audio into one vector space.
The model can run on-device, with about 567MB active RAM for the full multimodal model on a Google Pixel 11 Pro, and is available through Google AI Edge Gallery, Google AI Edge Foresight on Mac, and MediaPipe Tasks, with ML Kit support coming in the weeks ahead.
