Nythos Embed Zero (Norovox Labs). Derived from google/embeddinggemma-2 (Apache-2.0). Text path: weight-space mixture (alpha = 0.7) of EmbeddingGemma 2 and a Norovox-trained soup (karisim8); training used verified distillation from EmbeddingGemma 2 and Qwen3-Embedding-8B (Apache-2.0) on the Norovox pair corpus and our own synthetic data. Audio and image modality layers retrained by Norovox Labs; the rest of the vision and audio towers come from EmbeddingGemma 2.
