question: any good on-device size image embedding models?

tried https://github.com/unum-cloud/uform which i do like, especially they also support languages other than English. Any recommendations on other alternatives?

I have successfully used OpenCLIP models for embedding and similar-image search. The smallest model listed on that UForm page is 79 million parameters, so I presume that you can use other models of similar size. There are a few OpenCLIP models with 80 million or fewer parameters listed here:

When embeddings are quantized to int8 they still work very well for similarity (no differences in top 10 search on my test set). I haven't tried quantizing the models themselves.
