Original excerpt
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.
