Bayesian Search Cuts RAG Latency 40% in Production Pipeline
A team rebuilt their RAG retrieval layer using adaptive chunking strategies and Bayesian search, achieving 95% recall@10 and 40% latency reduction. They replaced fixed 512-token chunks with recursive and semantic chunkers tailored to document types. The approach uses Bayesian optimization to tune retrieval parameters dynamically.

The 40% latency cut is impressive, but the real win is the systematic chunking framework that moves RAG from demo to production—though the article lacks details on compute cost of Bayesian search.
