Retrieval scores are each database's own rank arithmetic; the databases in a selection share an embedder, so similarity in that one space is the signal comparable across databases by construction. Measured product to product against score ordering: +8.3 to +16.6pp recall@5 across five cells on two corpora, flat in collection count and corpus shape where score ordering dips with both, closing roughly 60% of the gap to a reranker; order-sensitivity residual 0.00pp in every cell. Exact ties collapse from 51-81% of candidates to under 1%. Full-text-only searches keep retrieval-score order, having no query vector. The vector column already travels with every search result, so the similarity costs no additional transfer; per-chunk embeddings are materialized only for the federated path that reads them. |

haiku.rag-slim
Opinionated agentic RAG powered by LanceDB, Pydantic AI, and Docling - Core package with minimal dependencies.
haiku.rag-slim is the core package for users who want to install only the dependencies they need. Document processing (docling), and reranker support are all optional extras.
For most users, we recommend installing haiku.rag instead, which includes all features out of the box.
Installation
Python 3.12 or newer required
Minimal Installation
uv pip install haiku.rag-slim
Core functionality with OpenAI/Ollama support, MCP server, and Logfire observability. Document processing (docling) is optional.
With Document Processing
uv pip install haiku.rag-slim[docling]
Adds support for 40+ file formats including PDF, DOCX, HTML, and more.
Available Extras
docling, tui, voyageai, cohere, zeroentropy, cross-encoder, jina,
s3, ingester, and one per model provider: anthropic, google, groq,
mistral, bedrock, vertexai. Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint need
no extra.
What each provides, and which ones the full haiku.rag package already
includes: Installation.
# Common combinations
