The developer community’s response blew past our expectations. With more than 20 million downloads, builders have used it to power smarter on-device search tools and privacy-first retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
Today, we’re launching EmbeddingGemma 2,expanding beyond text to unify code, images, video, and audio in a shared embedding space. Built on the Gemma 4 architecture and released under a commercially permissive Apache 2.0...
