Google released EmbeddingGemma 2, expanding its open embedding model from text to shared multimodal embeddings for images, audio, and video. The model is 740 million parameters and is designed to run on a smartphone. It enables on-device retrieval like matching a voice memo to a video moment without sending data off the phone, with options to shrink embedding vectors down to 128 numbers.
Google DeepMind released EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model that maps text, code, images, video, and audio into a shared vector space. It has 740M parameters and uses an 8,192-token context window. The release adds deployable weights under an Apache 2.0 license (including Edge/phone-friendly builds) and enables privacy-first, on-device search and retrieval for RAG pipelines across modalities.
Mistral unveiled Mistral Large 4 (le Chonk), its largest multimodal AI model to date, and said it is aiming to match or beat top open models. The model is a one trillion-parameter system, and Mistral says it will be fully available later this month after a preview launch. Availability shifts from preview for developers to full release and wider access via Mistral’s API.
