Yuanbao-Reranker models achieve state-of-the-art in text reranking

Researchers have developed Yuanbao-Reranker, a new family of dense rerankers built on the Qwen3 backbone, available in 0.6B, 4B, and 8B parameter scales. These models are designed for high-precision text reranking in search, recommendation, and RAG systems. The development involved creating a large-scale dataset of 2.75 million ranking groups through a multi-stage curation process and training the models with a combination of pointwise relevance cross-entropy and a minimum-gap hinge objective. Yuanbao-Reranker has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks, including Chinese, multilingual, English, long-document, and code retrieval, outperforming existing baselines in every parameter tier.

    Yuanbao-Reranker: Document-Grounded Synthesis and Preference Distillation for Text Reranking

    High-precision text reranking is a critical component in modern search, recommendation, and agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. We present Yuanbao-Reranker, a family of general-purpose dense rerankers spanning 0.6B, 4B, and 8B parameter scales built upon the Qwe…
