Hugging Face Blog·medium signal

Hugging Face launched the Ettin Reranker family, a new set of models designed to improve retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline quality by reranking retrieved documents before they reach the LLM. Rerankers are becoming a critical component as RAG systems scale, and Ettin aims to provide an open, high-quality option against proprietary alternatives like Cohere Rerank.
