    Google DeepMind releases EmbeddingGemma 2 with 740M parameters under Apache 2.0

    AIGoogle DeepMind released EmbeddingGemma 2, a 740M-parameter embedding model, under an Apache 2.0 license. The post says it is competitive across benchmarks and outperforms some specialist models more than twice its size, and that developers can use it for multimodal search or pair it with Gemma 4 for on-device RAG. Weights are available on Hugging Face and Kaggle.

    Google releases EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model for on-device use

    AIGoogle introduces EmbeddingGemma 2, its first open, natively multimodal embedding model, covering text, code, image, video, and audio tasks. It has a 740M parameter form factor, is positioned for offline, privacy-first RAG when paired with Gemma 4, and the post claims it outperforms some specialist models more than twice its size. Weights are available now on Hugging Face.

    Google releases EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model for on-device use

    AIGoogle DeepMind has released EmbeddingGemma 2, a 740-million-parameter embedding model that maps text, images, audio, and video into a shared space and runs on local hardware under an Apache 2.0 license. Matryoshka Representation Learning lets developers truncate output vectors from 768 dimensions to 512, 256, or 128, and the model supports an 8K-token context window. The model weights are available on Hugging Face and Kaggle, with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform availability coming soon.

    Why it matters: The release shows how a 740M-parameter multimodal embedder runs locally with a 768-to-128 dimension truncation option, useful for judging on-device retrieval designs.

    Mistral's ML4 hits open-model SOTA across capabilities and cyber benchmarks

    AIMistral says its ML4 model reaches state-of-the-art performance among open models across a wide range of capabilities, and outperforms the best models in visual grounding, legal, and spreadsheet manipulation. The post reports ML4 ranks among the best on the AA Cyber Index, scoring 82% on vulnerability reproduction and patching and 93% on Cybench. It argues that self-hosted, auditable open models are the best defense option for enterprises today, and that they do not refuse to help.

    Mistral's ML4 trained on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in Europe

    AIMistral says its ML4 model was trained on 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs in its European datacenters, including its Bruyères-le-Châtel cluster built with Series B funding. The company is investing further, with Series C and D clusters coming online soon to support longer training, more ambitious post-training, and faster iteration. Mistral expects large and rapid improvements in the weeks and months ahead.
