BrowseComp-Plus, perhaps the hardest popular deep research task, is now solved at nearly 90%... ... and all it took was a 150M model ✨ Thrilled to announce that Reason-ModernColBERT did it again and outperform all models (including models 54× bigger) on all metrics

can we stop saying this stuff folks? it’s complete nonsense since 2021, the age of GPT-3 API, there is no world where 1M docs will use 40GB of memory the index size would be 3-8GB under standard ColBERTv2 compression from the dark ages, let alone newer methods

On agentic code retrieval tasks LateOn model is built different, being small while achieving strong results. Code projects are small, easy to index. You want to minimize time spent on encoding using a small model on cpu and maximize accuracy. Multi-vector are a good fit for this

Combined with the impressive results of LateOn-Code models and the ColGrep harness for coding agents, we can clearly see a trend where late interaction models seem particularly suited for this new agentic era If you factor in the long context and out-of-domain generalization capabilities, you know the future will be very bright (pun intended) x.com/antoine_chaffi…
