DigUp for researchers & scientists

Literature and lab captures sprawl. DigUp runs EmbeddingGemma 2 via llama.cpp so one query ranks figures, pages, and clips — private to your workstation.

Numbered checklist

  1. Install DigUp on your lab machine (Apple Silicon or Win/Linux beta).
  2. Index Papers / LabNotes / Captures — ensure files are local.
  3. Enable code search for analysis repos.
  4. Combine semantic queries with exact citation keys.
  5. Read EmbeddingGemma docs + DigUp model page for 740M / 768-d facts.

Why EmbeddingGemma 2 matters here

Google’s EmbeddingGemma 2 (~740M, unified 768-d multimodal space) is what DigUp runs via llama.cpp (~865 MB Q8 package). One query can rank images, PDF pages, audio windows, video frames, and optional code — see the local multimodal guide and model page. digup.run is not Google-official.
