- BigQuery
You can enable autonomous embedding generation on new or existing tables that you make with the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statements. When you do this, BigQuery maintains a column of embeddings on the table based on a source column. When you add or modify data in the source column, BigQuery automatically generates or updates the embedding column for that data. This feature is generally available (GA).
