Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Served by 2 API providers; heavily run locally (321 quantized builds); a big base for builders (305 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 0.2 GB at INT4, 0.4 GB at FP8, 0.7 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

The story so far

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.

Most coverage arrived in the last 30 days

Teal is the weights (2025-07-17), amber triangles are 8 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

What people built on it

626 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.

626 derivatives on the Hub, most of them quantized

From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.

Google launches EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal model expanding beyond text to unify code, images, video, and audio. Built on the Gemma 4 architecture with 740 million parameters and an Apache 2.0 license, it achieves a 9.92-point improvement on code performance. The model features an 8K token context window and supports dynamic vector truncation for storage efficiency.written, reviewed, cited
  • Developers can dynamically truncate output vectors from 768 dimensions down to 512, 256, or 128 dimensions.
  • The model processes up to 5.5 minutes of audio, 29 images, or 58 video frames within its 8K token context window.

EmbeddingGemma 2 is a compact open model under the Apache 2.0 license that maps text, code, images, video, and audio into a unified 768-dimensional space. Based on Gemma 4, this sub-1B model uses Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) to enable dynamic truncation down to 128 dimensions, achieving a 6x reduction in vector database storage requirements while retaining much of the original quality.written, reviewed, cited
  • Video is sampled at 1 frame per second by default, and audio should be 16 kHz mono.
  • At 128 dimensions, image, video, and speech retrieval quality drops to around 75%.
  • EmbeddingGemma 2 scores 14% higher than EmbeddingGemma 1 on MTEB (Code).

EmbeddingGemma 2 is a 740M parameter, open-source model licensed under the Apache 2.0 License that maps text, images, audio, and video into a unified 768-dimensional vector space. The model supports up to 8,192 tokens and utilizes Matryoshka Representation Learning to deliver up to a 6x reduction in vector database storage costs. It enables demanding cross-modal workflows like Retrieval-Augmented Generation locally on consumer GPUs or CPUs.written, reviewed, cited
