EmbeddingGemma 2: an open, lightweight multimodal embedding model

AnnouncementModelOct 6, 2026

EmbeddingGemma 2 is a 740-million-parameter open multimodal embedding model built on the Gemma 4 architecture and released under an Apache 2.0 license. It unifies text, code, images, video, and audio in a shared embedding space, and is designed for on-device inference, requiring as little as ~191MB active RAM for text-only weights on a Google Pixel 11 Pro. It improves MTEB Code scores from 68.76 to 78.68 over EmbeddingGemma and offers an 8K token context window.
