From BM25 to Corrective RAG: A Benchmark Study Challenges the Dominance of Semantic Search for Tabular Data
A systematic benchmark of 10 RAG retrieval strategies on a financial QA dataset reveals that a two-stage hybrid + reranking pipeline performs best. Crucially, the classic BM25 algorithm outperformed modern dense retrieval models, challenging a core assumption in semantic search. The findings provide actionable, cost-aware guidance for building retrieval systems over heterogeneous documents.
How Structured JSON Inputs Eliminated Hallucinations in a Fine-Tuned 7B Code Model
A developer fine-tuned a 7B code model on consumer hardware to generate Laravel PHP files. Hallucinations persisted until prompts were replaced with structured JSON specs, which eliminated ambiguous gap-filling errors and reduced debugging time dramatically.
flexvec: A New SQL Kernel for Programmable Vector Retrieval
A new research paper introduces flexvec, a retrieval kernel that exposes the embedding matrix and score array as a programmable surface via SQL, enabling complex, real-time query-time operations called Programmatic Embedding Modulation (PEM). This approach allows AI agents to dynamically manipulate retrieval logic and achieves sub-100ms performance on million-scale corpora on a CPU.
