- 3The New Stack·9/28/2026product_launchRetrieval First, Reranking Second
The article argues that poor search quality is not always a reranking problem and that teams should first verify whether retrieval is surfacing the right candidates. It also notes that large-scale reranking can increase cost and latency, and points readers to a Vespa.ai webinar on multi-stage retrieval funnels.
- 4InfoQ·9/2/2026researchBeyond Prompting: Context Engineering for Production AI
Ricardo Ferreira outlines practical context-engineering patterns for building production-grade AI applications beyond basic prompt design. He focuses on managing long- and short-term memory, reducing token usage with summarization, limiting context drift with reranking and semantic caching, and keeping API costs and latency under control.
- 4The New Stack·7/23/2026framework_updatePersonalization works best as a unified ranking system
The article argues that personalization failures usually stem from architecture, not from a lack of signals or models. It says teams should treat personalization as a query-time ranking problem that combines user intent, item attributes, live context, availability, and business rules in one pipeline.
