voyage rerank-2.5 AI Foundry

Rerankers are neural networks that predict the relevancy scores between a query and documents and rank them based on the scores. They are used to refine search results in semantic search/retrieval systems and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). rerank-2.5 is a cutting-edge reranker optimized for quality, delivering a 7.94% improvement in retrieval accuracy over Cohere Rerank v3.5 across 93 datasets. It also outperformed Cohere Rerank v3.5 by 12.70% on the Massive Instructed Retrieval Benchmark (MAIR). The model supports a combined context length of 32K tokens per query–document pair, including up to 8K tokens for the query, enabling more accurate retrieval over longer documents. Additionally, rerank-2.5 supports instruction following, allowing users to guide relevance scoring through natural language prompts.
