What's New

Reranking speed increased 3.3x with single-pass strategy and ORT models.

New Features

  • Single rerank pass across all packages instead of per-package reranking.
  • ORT format model support with automatic fallback to .onnx.
  • Multi-threaded inference capped at 4 cores for parallel processing.
  • Zero-copy memory-mapped file access for faster model loading.

Improvements

  • 3.3x faster reranking performance across all packages.
  • Pre-optimized ORT format for faster deserialization.
  • Zero-copy memory-mapped file access via mmap.
  • Multi-threaded inference using half available cores.

Upgrade Notes

Ensure you have the new `reranker.ort` model file, though the system supports automatic fallback to `.onnx`. The reranking logic now uses a single pass across packages instead of per-package reranking.
