Rerank documents by relevance: reranker for RAG
Order up to 50 documents by how well each answers a query, with a relevance score from 0 to 1 (BAAI bge-reranker-base, a cross-encoder). Send documents as a JSON array or one per line; each is read up to 2,000 characters, 40,000 in all. Returns the original index, score and text, best first; top_n keeps only the best. Also available in the Cohere-style shape at /v1/rerank. Use to pick what a model reads after search or vector retrieval.
