Summary

A Hacker News commenter praises EmbeddingGemma 2 for its Apache 2.0 license and argues that embedding models should not be closed, hosted-only. The commenter says a vendor may later retire a proprietary model, forcing users to pay to re-embed millions of stored vectors. They cite OpenAI's April 2024 offer to cover re-embedding costs and say they would rather use a hosted model with open weights they can run themselves.
