On-device AI is becoming increasingly capable, with companies exploring ways to run more AI workloads directly on phones and other consumer devices. Perplexity, for instance, has launched on-device AI assistants, while Google has released models such as Gemma 4 12B specifically designed for on-device use. Now, Google appears to be pushing that idea even further.
Today, the company announced a new multimodal on-device model called EmbeddingGemma 2. Google says the new model has been designed for privacy-first applications and can act as an “ultra-low-latency on-device decision engine.” Since it is multimodal, EmbeddingGemma 2 can look up information from within text files, images, video frames, and audio.
