Turbopuffer adds late interaction beta, combining ANN retrieval with exact reranking

Sirupsen describes a compute ladder for text indexing that spans BM25, sparse vectors, regex, dense vectors, and late interaction.
- The core idea is that teams can choose how much compute to spend based on their read/write ratio.
- The quoted turbopuffer update says tpuf now supports late interaction in beta.
- It uses a single-vector ANN index for the first pass, then exact late-interaction scoring to rerank hits and improve recall.
