Bayesian Search Cuts RAG Latency 40% in Production Pipeline
A team rebuilt their RAG retrieval layer with adaptive chunking and Bayesian search, achieving 95% recall@10 and 40% latency reduction. They replaced fixed 512-token chunks with recursive structure-aware splitting. The approach uses measured, tunable retrieval instead of default semantic search.

The post offers practical optimizations for production RAG, but the 40% latency cut depends on prior baseline choices; results may vary.
