Bayesian Search Cuts RAG Latency 40% in Production Pipeline
A team rebuilt their RAG retrieval layer, moving from fixed 512-token chunks to adaptive strategies that improved recall@10 to 95%. They applied Bayesian optimization to tune chunk size, overlap, and top-k parameters, cutting latency by 40%. The approach uses recursive chunking that respects document structure like headers and code blocks.

The 40% latency reduction is impressive, but the real value is the systematic tuning framework—most RAG deployments still rely on guesswork.
