Google DeepMind's Autoregressive Ranking replaces two-stage search ranking with a single LLM

- Google DeepMind, UMass Amherst, and UT Austin published "Autoregressive Ranking: Bridging the Gap Between Dual and Cross Encoders."
- Current search uses a two-stage pipeline: fast but imprecise Dual Encoders retrieve candidates, accurate but costly Cross Encoders re-rank them.
- ARR is a unified LLM-based model that directly produces a ranked list, potentially replacing both stages — a radical rethink of search back-end ranking.
