- 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.
- 4The New Stack·9/3/2026researchRetrieval engineering to scale AI agents
The article argues that as AI agents are deployed at larger scale, retrieval infrastructure becomes a bottleneck because many agents can generate concurrent data queries and strain freshness, latency, and relevance. It highlights a live discussion on rebuilding retrieval as a unified layer rather than a fragmented stack of separate systems.
