Bayesian Search Cuts RAG Latency 40% in Production Pipeline
A team rebuilt their RAG retrieval layer using adaptive chunking and Bayesian search, achieving 95% recall@10. They replaced fixed 512-token chunks with recursive and semantic strategies tailored to document types. The new pipeline cut end-to-end latency by 40% while improving retrieval accuracy.

The piece offers practical, measurable improvements over naive RAG, but the Bayesian search approach may not generalize to all domains without careful tuning.
