What happened
EmbeddingGemma 2 uses the Apache 2.0 license. Simon Willison argues that embedding models should not be locked into proprietary hosted services. They often require computing and storing thousands or millions of vectors; if a provider discontinues a model, users may have to pay to recompute them. He would rather pay for a hosted version while retaining the option to run open weights or switch providers if the service shuts down.
