Strong New RAG Solution for Mixed Corpora
tomaarsen · x · 2026-07-17
This is a major release tailored for mixed-corpus RAG, specifically optimized for scenarios blending PDFs, scanned pages, and plain text.
Key details from the post include:
- A workflow designed for team-based retrieval-augmented generation over mixed corpora
- A training scale of 213K training groups for only a single epoch
- By contrast, competitors often use millions of samples or rely on distillation from larger teacher models, suggesting significant room for improvement in this recipe
- Although trained on English data, it performs well in French on ViDoRe V3, even surpassing English in three domains
Overall, this reads more like a research-backed RAG solution/study rather than mere marketing.
