rerank-3-lite
Rerank 3 Lite is the smaller release in the third-generation reranking pair. It targets lower latency while retaining instruction following.
Model design
The launch positions Lite near the earlier full rerank-2.5 model in retrieval quality. It retains the 32,000-token pair limit and aligns score distributions with its 2.5-series predecessor. These are provider evaluation results, not guarantees for each corpus.rerank-3 and rerank-3-lite
Practical use
Practical guidance. Tune the candidate count and document length together for an interactive search flow. Measure how often the desired passage reaches the final few results. That result matters more to a reader than a small average score change.
