EmbeddingGemma 2: The Developer Guide

EmbeddingGemma 2 is a compact, open-source multimodal embedding model that maps text, code, images, video, and audio into a unified 768-dimensional space. Developers can use the sentence-transformers library to selectively load modular modality encoders—ranging from 270M to 740M parameters—to optimize memory usage. Additionally, Matryoshka Representation Learning enables dynamic dimension truncation down to 128d, significantly reducing vector database storage requirements while maintaining high retrieval performance.

Bring multimodal semantic search to the edge with EmbeddingGemma 2

EmbeddingGemma 2 is a new 740M open-weight multimodal model that maps text, images, video, and audio into a unified vector space for privacy-first, on-device retrieval. Developers can easily integrate these capabilities cross-platform using MediaPipe Tasks or optimize fine-grained performance across CPU, GPU, and NPU accelerators with LiteRT. The model enables ultra-low-latency local solutions like search-as-you-type media retrieval, keyframe video moments finding, and zero-shot intent routing.

Customize Claude Code with mods

Mods are small TypeScript functions that change how Claude Code works. Rewrite prompts, block risky commands, add custom UI, or replace built-in features. Write one yourself or ask Claude Code to write it, then share it as a plugin.

Accelerating Spatio-Temporal Attention for Video Diffusion on TPUs

To address the quadratic latency bottleneck of self-attention in high-resolution video diffusion models, developers implemented Sparse VideoGen (SVG) to dynamically route attention heads to highly structured spatial or temporal sparse masks. Translating this algorithmic sparsity into physical hardware speedups on TPUs required optimizing the Splash Attention kernel by bypassing empty memory tiles, restricting exact coordinate masking strictly to boundary tiles, and permuting token memory layouts into temporal-major order for contiguous access. By aligning these sparse masks with actual hardware tile execution, the combined optimizations significantly reduced wasted matrix operations and achieved up to a 1.69x end-to-end inference speedup for 1440p video generation.
