🛠️ Zero downtime embedding model upgrades
Summary
Embedflow is a Python library that enables zero downtime embedding model upgrades by using an old index to retrieve top candidates and scoring them with a new model. This avoids the upfront time and computational cost of re-embedding an entire document database.
Why it’s interesting
It avoids expensive upfront vector store rebuilding by using a retrieval and reranking approach for model migrations.
Target user
Developers using embedding models for RAG and semantic retrieval.
