Living the dream

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Introducing EmbeddingGemma 2, a new open multimodal model that sets the standard for on-device efficiency.

- our first open, natively multimodal embedding model
- handles text, code, image, video, and audio tasks within a lightweight, modular 740M parameter form factor
- ideal for offline, privacy-first RAG when paired with Gemma 4
- outperforms some specialist models more than twice its size

Weights available now on Hugging Face.

@wieslawsoltes Haha - this is fun. Lots of memories… not great memories…
I worked on an app for 5 years that ended up VB5/6 talking to a C shim to a COBOL business core. Talk about pointer / buffer overrun / COM hell… 🙄😂

@oilmutt @TonyBuzbee2 @Whataburger I don’t understand how a restaurant can be driven into the ground so quickly…

[Stitch by Google @stitchbygoogle]

We have a Stitch MCP. We have a Stitch SDK. But, we don't have a Stitch CLI. Well, not until now.

Introducing the @google/stitch CLI:

🔷 Connect to your local coding agents
🔷 Generate screens and design systems
🔷 Send a local dev server snapshot to Stitch

Do it all without leaving the terminal or better yet, ask your favorite harness like @antigravity 😎

@oilmutt You can almost smell the “old garage” on the report! Very cool

Spanner Omni is now generally available!

The deploy-anywhere version of Spanner is here—ready to power your most demanding production workloads in your private data centers, in a multi-cloud deployment, or even for testing locally on a laptop → https://t.co/IUo0vM86pB

Sooner rather than later, I will be able to sync old Texas well files, production data, logs and other engineering from the RRC to a leased seismic line. In conjunction with synthetic data I think it will do very well for prospect generation and active lease optimization.
For instance, over a larger water flood this can have quite a fun effect on fluid migration, mechanical vs reservoir failure and more.

🥳 Google is donating Agent Substrate to CNCF, and our submissions is accepted today! This effort has now the full potential to become the underlying compute runtime layer for all agentic systems. https://t.co/tE1bhdVryl

@GergelyOrosz I don’t understand your Google hate… what’s wrong with chasing the market? If your team is #2 for 6 months, what’s wrong with competing for #1??
