Google Launched New, Tiny Embedding Model: EmbeddingGemma

I only just found out what these embedding LLMs do the other day, and Google just dropped a new 308M param model!

I really like how they’re open-weighting(?) these smaller models that can run on super low end hardware. They dropped Gemma 3 270M a few weeks ago and whilst “dumb”, they’re very easy to fine-tune on places like Google Colab.

Pretty excited to see how apps could use these on-device models for search features:

enables you to build applications using techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and semantic search that run directly on your hardware

Currently watching the latest #RevolutionSocial podcast with Taylor Lorenz, and makes me grateful to be posting to my own site (thanks micro.blog!), crossposted to my self-hosted Bluesky account and to my own Nostr relay even if I don’t use Nostr that much.. haha

I own my own data 🔥

Not a fan of the new Instagram app. I agree with Dylan in this tweet, imo they’re holding onto the uncertainty of TikTok’s future in the US and trying to make Insta the new TikTok (esp since they launched that Edits app.)

Perfect shoutout for Flashes! A real Instagram alternative built on #atproto!

A social media post features a tweet about the iPad version of Instagram with a criticism about its layout, accompanied by a screenshot of the Instagram interface.

@DylanMcD8 Ffs?? Not even tried it but they’re definitely holding onto this opportunity with the unstable future of TikTok in the US 😅

Where are the images/posts?
