Debate over Late Interaction's high storage costs
antoine_chaffin · x · 2026-08-28
Discussion on retrieval model tech: While "Late Interaction" (e.g., ColBERT) offers better retrieval performance, its high storage requirements are a major pain point, leading to the remark "bros in shambles".
Also cites interesting results on hierarchical pooling combined with asymmetric quantization as an attempt to optimize storage and performance.
