Every AIYatra session, recapped — plus tutorials and guest posts from the community. If you missed a Saturday, start here. If you have something to share, write it here.
EmbeddingGemma 2 is Google’s latest open embedding model for semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Built on Gemma 4, it maps text, source code, images, video, and audio into a shared 768-dimensional vector space. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license and scales from 270 million to 740 million parameters depending on the modalities you enable.
