Bayesian Search Cuts RAG Latency 40% in Production Pipeline
A team rebuilt a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline using adaptive chunking and Bayesian search, achieving 95% recall@10 and 40% latency reduction. They replaced fixed 512-token chunks with recursive and semantic strategies tailored to document types. The approach tunes chunk size, overlap, and top-k per query, moving beyond one-size-fits-all RAG.

The piece offers practical, measurable improvements to RAG, but the 40% latency cut is specific to their stack—generalizability depends on embedding and search infrastructure.
