Mixedbread on retrieval scaling laws: co-designing models and vector DBs
lateinteraction · x · 2026-08-26
Responding to the Microsoft paper on multi-vector retrieval efficiency, Mixedbread shared practical insights. They emphasized that retrieval requires not just multi-vector storage but also dedicated models. Observing scaling laws in retrieval for the first time, they went all-in on Late Interaction, co-designing their vector DB Silo with their wholembed retrieval model.
