For those in the group using Replit or thinking about using Replit
Until now, using Replit Agent meant choosing between two paths:
Start with one of their curated app types. For example, HTML, CSS, React, ShadCN UI, built to work seamlessly with Agent.
Or go fully custom—without Agent support.
From now on, Replit Agent now works with any framework!
Big news: Replit Agent now works with any framework!
What's now possible for advance builders:
→ Import existing projects and get Agent support
→ While Agent previously supported popular languages, it can now handle even more with Java, Rust, Go, C#, Angular, Vue,
Replit Agent is great at starting projects scratch, but it couldn't run repos or build custom stacks.
Announcing General Agent: Import, build & run anything!
Watch it run ComfyUI by just adding "repl•new/" to the URL.
Replit - Agent is now available to build apps with any framework

| 3 | EmbeddingGemma is a 300M parameter, state-of-the-art for its size, open embedding model from Google, built from Gemma 3 (with T5Gemma initialization) and the same research and technology used to create Gemini models. EmbeddingGemma produces vector representations of text, making it well-suited for search and retrieval tasks, including classification, clustering, and semantic similarity search. This model was trained with data in 100+ spoken languages. |
