About This Audiobook
A prototype that works in a notebook is not the same as a production system that works under load. This guide covers everything between the two: cross-encoder reranking to close the gap between retrieved and relevant, adaptive threshold calibration that adjusts per-query rather than globally, cold start strategies for new codebases, incremental indexing so re-embedding isn't a nightly job, and rigorous evaluation using MRR and nDCG.
