Google DeepMind launched EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model, on 2026-10-06.[^1]

The model was published on the same day as the formal announcement.[^3]

This release arrives amid ongoing international discussion over AI governance. In September 2024, Google joined five other frontier AI firms in signing a non-binding voluntary safety agreement at the White House.[^2] Senior leaders from Google and peer model labs have also made public calls for formal regulation of AI development.[^4]
