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 and 40% latency reduction. They replaced fixed 512-token chunks with structure-aware strategies for legal, API, and customer support documents. The approach is open-source and tunable for different content types.
Meridian48 take
The 40% latency cut is impressive, but the real win is the principled, measurable approach to chunking and retrieval—something many RAG implementations skip.
