- 4Simon Willison·10/6/2026model_releaseEmbeddingGemma 2 gets Apache 2.0 praise
Simon Willison commented positively on EmbeddingGemma 2, highlighting its Apache 2.0 license. He argued that embedding models are especially better suited to open licensing because many applications store large numbers of embeddings and may need to re-embed data if a vendor discontinues a proprietary model.
- 6Google DeepMind·10/6/2026model_releaseGoogle DeepMind launches EmbeddingGemma 2
Google DeepMind introduced EmbeddingGemma 2, an open and lightweight multimodal embedding model. The model is designed to generate embeddings for multiple input types while remaining compact and suitable for practical deployment. It is positioned as an open model for developers and researchers working with multimodal AI systems.
