What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Best-in-class accuracy on visual document retrieval with active development, and the storage blowup is now largely mitigable via token-merging (>=94% performance at <12% memory), but query-time cost and brittle/GPU-bound tooling make it a high-value but high-effort adoption better validated offline first.
Next
Run an offline ViDoRe-style eval on a representative visual-document subset (PDFs/scanned docs) comparing a ColQwen3 variant (with token-pooling/quantization applied) against the current OCR+text-embedding pipeline, measuring nDCG plus index size and query latency before committing infra.
