Auf einen Blick

  • Customer demand drove managed offering

    Teams consistently asked for a managed Compass offering—wanting its best-in-class retrieval without the operational overhead of self-hosting.

  • Precise retrieval reduces token costs

    More precise retrieval delivers smaller, higher-quality inputs to generative models, cutting inference costs and task completion time. Retrieval is among the most effective cost levers available to businesses today.

  • Agentic workflows require reliable multi-query retrieval

    Agents may issue dozens of queries per task. Retrieval systems must therefore perform reliably across sequences of machine-generated queries—not just single-shot searches—while maintaining relevance, enforcing permissions at every step, and avoiding latency accumulation.

  • Compass improved accuracy by 14–16 points on financial RAG workload

    On the High Finance benchmark—a Cohere-built investment-banking RAG workload—Compass improved accuracy by 14–16 points over Azure Search (64.8 → 81.1). That gap can distinguish between unsatisfactory and great end-user answers.

cost optimization

Precise retrieval reduces token costs

Originalauszug

Token economics: Every irrelevant result passed to a model consumes tokens and occupies limited context space. More precise retrieval creates smaller, higher-quality inputs, reducing inference costs and cutting the time needed to complete a task. Retrieval is one of the most effective cost levers available to businesses today.
performance benchmarking

Compass improved accuracy by 14–16 points on financial RAG workload

Originalauszug

The figure below is one instance of the accuracy gain over traditional or standalone search infrastructure on a representative financial-industry RAG workload: embed a query, retrieve presentation materials from an index, and score the top results. On High Finance, a Cohere-built investment-banking benchmark, Compass achieved a 14-16 point improvement on Azure Search (from 64.8 to 81.1). A gap of this size can be the difference between an unsatisfactory answer and a great one for the end user.
retrieval system design

Agentic workflows require reliable multi-query retrieval

Originalauszug

Agentic access patterns: Agents may issue dozens of queries while completing one task, reformulating requests and traversing multiple sources. In these multi-hop loops, latency accumulates, relevance can drift, and permissions must be enforced at every step. Retrieval must therefore perform reliably across sequences of machine-generated queries, not only single-shot searches.
