K² retrieval family

Four models. One shared definition of relevance.

Dense clustering maps semantic neighborhoods, sparse tokens capture salience, fusion blending dynamically adjusts the mix, and the reranker learns which evidence is truly useful. Because all four models are tuned on the same data and hard negatives, they develop a unified concept of relevance that keeps compound gains flowing.

Training loop

Hard negatives keep every model honest

Production queries and mined mistakes tune dense, sparse, fusion, and reranker models inside the same optimization cycle.

  • Hard negatives are lifted directly from real customer traffic.
  • Each encoder learns the same definition of relevance in shared batches.
Evaluation

One dashboard for the whole stack

Recall, precision, latency, and cost land in a unified harness so teams can tune trade-offs together instead of guessing.

  • Dense, sparse, fusion, and reranker metrics sit side by side.
  • Budget-aware evaluation runs gate releases and surface drift.
Deployment

Open-weight playbooks for your infra

Ship the stack into your VPC or cloud with documented ANN recipes, integration guides, and observability hooks.

  • Reference architectures for vector and sparse stores.
  • Ops runbooks cover rollout, monitoring, and fast rollback.

Retrieval stack in motion

Query → Retrieval → Fusion → Reranker → Generator

Parallel dense and sparse retrievers feed a learned fusion model that understands when to trust semantic breadth or lexical precision. The reranker then delivers the expert verdict—grounding your generator while logging every outcome for the next training cycle.

+35% recall uplift

Aligned dense, sparse, fusion, and reranker models consistently beat single-retriever or heuristic hybrids on domain benchmarks.

Up to 50% fewer tokens

Lean, calibrated retrieval reduces prompt bloat so downstream generators stay fast and inexpensive.

Telemetry-grounded decisions

Shared dashboards let you monitor recall, precision, and latency trade-offs in one place.

The result is state-of-the-art retrieval performance, precision-tuned to your domain and measurable on every release.

How the retrieval stack compounds

Shared training loops keep dense, sparse, fusion, and reranker models pushing in the same direction.

Dense + sparse stay in sync

Dense clustering maps semantic neighborhoods while sparse tokens capture exact salience.

Fusion ranks by what matters

The learned fusion model dynamically blends the two, producing a ranked shortlist tailored to each query.

Rerankers enforce trust

Our reranker delivers the expert judgment, producing calibrated scores for grounded answers or safe deferrals.
