Free AI Search course covers Late Interaction, MUVERA scaling and Wormhole vectors

Search veterans Doug Turnbull (ex-Shopify/Reddit/Wikipedia) and Trey Grainger (author, "AI-Powered Search") are running a free Maven series, The Future of AI Search (Oct 19 – Nov 2, 2026).
Key themes: late interaction models (ColBERT/ColPali) now dominate relevance benchmarks and scale in production, but store up to 25x memory per document — a session covers reproducible OpenSearch benchmarks on MUVERA compression. Trey Grainger presents Wormhole vectors, unifying query understanding, matching and ranking across lexical, semantic and behavioral vector spaces, with benchmarks beating standard hybrid search. Also covered: System One / Decision Models outperforming LLMs on many agentic search tasks. Free to register; aimed at search/IR engineers.
