Welcome EmbeddingGemma, Google's new efficient embedding model

The sagemaker deployment (https://huggingface.co/google/embeddinggemma-300m?sagemaker_deploy=true) is not working because it uses hugging-face tei version 1.8.0 (while it should be >=1.8.1 as the article mentions):

"Could not start Candle backend: Could not start backend: Model is not supported\n\nCaused by:\n unknown variant `gemma3_text`, expected one of `bert`, `xlm-roberta`, `camembert`, `roberta`, `distilbert`, `nomic_bert`, `mistral`, `gte`, `new`, `qwen2`, `qwen3`, `mpnet`, `modernbert` at line 45 column 29"

But if I use image_uri=get_huggingface_llm_image_uri("huggingface-tei", version="1.8.1") it errors because the current version of sagemaker (2.251.1) does not support huggingface-tei version 1.8.1 (it only supports 1.8.0).
