Gemini Embedding 2 is Google's first natively multimodal embedding model that maps text, images, audio, video, and PDFs into a single 3,072-dimensional semantic vector space (with configurable output sizes). It introduces Matryoshka Representation Learning to provide nested / truncated embeddings, improved multilingual performance (100+ languages), and optimized controls for task-specific embeddings (e.g., task:search, task:code).

A practical, code-forward guide to Gemini 3.1 Pro — what it is, how to call it (including via CometAPI), its multimodal and “thinking level” controls, function-calling/tool use, vibe-coding tips, and integrations with GitHub Copilot, VS Code, the Gemini CLI, and Google Antigravity. Gemini 3.1 pro is rolling forward the frontier of large multimodal models with a focused developer story: bigger context windows, configurable “thinking” modes, improved tool- and function-calling, and explicit support for agentic workflows.

On January 12, 2026 Google published a developer update to the Gemini API that changes how you get files into the model and how large those files can be. In short: Gemini now fetches files directly from external links and cloud storage (so you don't always have to upload them), and the inline file size limit has been raised substantially. These updates remove friction for real-world apps that already store media or documents in cloud buckets, and make short prototyping and production workflows faster and cheaper.
