OpenRouter Watch posted an update
When a RAG app retrieves a near-miss instead of the right passage, OpenRouter’s guide says reranking can help. Its approach takes the top 30 search results and uses a cross-encoder model to score each against the question.
Why it mattersThat gives developers a practical way to refine what their system sends on for an answer. The distinction matters: finding material on the right topic is not the same as finding the right material.
Discuss: Would you spend the extra compute to rerank a fixed set of results, or is improving the first-stage search the better fix?
