Cohere Rerank
A reranking API service provided by Cohere that uses a cross-encoder to score the relevance of query-document pairs, and is used for reranking retrieval results in RAG.
Core Facts
Commonly used Rerank models include Cohere Rerank and BGE-Reranker.
Reranking uses a cross-encoder to score query-document pairs one by one, with accuracy far higher than vector similarity but at higher computational cost, so fine ranking is done only on the small number of candidates after coarse ranking, forming a two-stage architecture of coarse ranking plus fine ranking.
Reranking is typically implemented using cross-encoders, which concatenate the query and candidate documents before feeding them in together; it usually reranks only the Top-50 to Top-100 candidates and finally selects Top-3 to Top-5 to pass to the generative model.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In the reranking stage, the Cohere Rerank API was introduced, with a 3-second timeout for external calls and a circuit breaker mechanism implemented.
Cohere Rerank and Jina Reranker are managed API services that run Cross-Encoder-type models underneath, but the submitted queries and document content leave the local environment, posing privacy compliance risks.
Cohere Rerank and Jina Reranker are billed per '1,000 search units', where one search unit is defined as one query paired with up to 100 documents; taking Cohere Rerank 3 as an example, pricing is about $2 per 1,000 searches.

Common open-source re-ranking models include Cohere Rerank, BGE-Reranker, and the ms-marco series.
Enterprise-grade RAG retrieval pipelines typically include multiple stages such as recall (vector retrieval + BM25 keyword retrieval), reranking (using Cross-Encoders such as Cohere Rerank and BGE-Reranker), and post-filtering processing.
