This series on the Future of AI Search is going to be insane!
My talk is in 1hr20, so excited to be part of the line-up 🫶
Reminder that @treygrainger and I are beginning our online conference "The Future of AI Search"
Lots of great names giving talks like Yonik Seeley (@lucene_solr ), @jobergum, and more
Today we're hearing from @AmelieTabatta on whats going on with late interaction in 2026

🔎 Is one vector enough to capture everything that matters in search?
Traditional single-vector search compresses information into a single embedding.
But what happens to the context that's lost along the way?
On October 19, our @AmelieTabatta , Head of Training & Inference at LightOn, will join @treygrainger and @TurnbullDoug for a technical session on Late Interaction in 2026, hosted on Maven.
They'll explore:
🔹 Why token-level embeddings can improve retrieval quality
🔹 Where late interaction makes the biggest difference 🔹 How approaches like NextPlaid are making retrieval more efficient
🔹 What it takes to scale late interaction in production

I'm quite excited for this session with @AmelieTabatta and @softwaredoug on Oct 19. Late Interaction models and production engines are rapidly evolving, & Amélie & LightOn are at the frontier of what's possible. Come learn with us about the state of late interaction in 2026!

Use an LLM to generate per-query decisions for ranking.
IE 'desk for kids" ->
"Is this product suitable for kids?"
"Is this product a height below 36 inches?"...
Sum Jev the P(yes) for these decisions to rerank
It works!

The pitch: one embedding must compress all before it knows your query. Late interaction keeps a vector per token (or patch) & matches late: strong on code, visual docs, long context & out-of-domain 👀
Cost was the catch, but is it still in 2026?

In July I gave a lecture on late interaction to the AI-Powered Search cohort, then released the slides. Lots of fun teaching where it shines & why it's more than a neat research idea in 2026 🫶
Now @treygrainger & @softwaredoug invited me back for a free 1h lightning version!

Better ranking only gets you so far if you haven't understood the query.
At Haystack EU on Sept. 16th, @treygrainger will show how late interaction and Wormhole Vectors can improve query understanding and how they benchmark against popular hybrid search techniques.
Talk info: hubs.la/Q04xtHB-0
Can't make it? AI-Powered Search is 45% off with code HaystackEU through Sept. 30th: hubs.la/Q04xtHGr0
AI-Powered Search retweeted
What if hybrid search could do more than combine independently ranked results?
Wormhole vectors let systems jump between corresponding regions of different vector spaces at query time, uncovering relationships that can improve query understanding and ranking.
On Sept. 10th, AI-Powered Search co-author @treygrainger will explain how in his @vespaengine Live talk, "Extending Vespa’s Hybrid Search with Wormhole Vectors."

Getting ready to teach some classic Learning to Rank this week as part of AI Powered Search with @treygrainger
Always fascinating to be reminded of how powerful just predicting pairwise differences can be in ranking
Way easier to see the pattern

AI agents aren't just reasoning engines. They're information systems.
Without retrieval, grounding, context, and tool use, agents can't make good decisions. That's why search, RAG, and agents are converging.

Our cohort has just started, though you can still sign up :)
Come hang out with me and @treygrainger before it gets really really interesting in the weeks ahead

Last chance to join @dougturnbull and my month-long @aiPoweredSearch course before class starts today!

There's not really another course like this. Class starts tomorrow at 12:30 :)

The main place I feel behind in AI as a builder is Search, which I think will increasingly be a core competency for AI builders.
To level up, I've just enrolled in "AI-Powered Search: Modern Retrieval for Humans & Agents" with Search legends @softwaredoug (led Search at Reddit and Shopify) and @treygrainger.
They're kindly giving my network 15% off with the code `buildwithai`.
If you're thinking of joining and have any questions, let me know!
I'll also include a few things I've worked on with Doug in the comments to help figure out if this course is for you.
