    • Supports a unified vector space for text, code, images, audio, and video with an 8K token context window.
    • The 744M parameter model outperforms competitors 2-12x its size; direct speech embedding beats transcription-based retrieval.
    • Released under Apache 2.0, it requires only ~567MB RAM on a Pixel 11 Pro when quantized, ideal for on-device deployment.
