Google DeepMind releases EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model

Google DeepMind has released EmbeddingGemma 2, an open-source multimodal embedding model that maps text, code, images, video, and audio into a unified 768-dimensional vector space. The model consists of 740 million total parameters, combining a 270M parameter text encoder with modular vision (170M) and audio (300M) encoders.

Eduardo: Multi-turn RL trains LLM tutors to teach via masked post-test

Researchers introduce Eduardo, a multi-turn reinforcement learning recipe for training large language model tutors that addresses the "assistance dilemma" where models tend to give answers rather than teach. The method uses a masked near-transfer post-test and binary reward gates to discourage cognitive offloading and prevent solution handover.
