How Does Chunk Overlap Affect Citation Precision?
Learn when overlap protects complete evidence, when it duplicates citations, and how to measure support, precision, recall, and storage together.
How Does OCR Resolution Affect RAG Index Size?
See how scan resolution affects OCR tokens, layout output, embeddings, thumbnails, temporary storage, and the final size of a private RAG index.
How Does Quantization Affect Embedding Retrieval Quality?
Learn how scalar, product, and binary quantization change vector distance, recall, reranking, memory use, and validation for a home search index.
What Is Embedding Drift, and When Does a Private Search Index Need Rebuilding?
Decode model, preprocessing, corpus, and query drift; distinguish monitoring from incompatibility; and decide when a private index needs rebuilding.
What Is Tokenizer Compatibility, and Why Can It Break Model Switching?
Decode vocabulary identity, special-token semantics, chat templates, cached tokens, adapters, and compatibility checks for local model switching.
What Is Model Residency, and When Should a Local AI Service Keep Weights Loaded?
Decode weight residency, cache levels, cold starts, eviction, multiplexing, memory pressure, and when a home AI service should stay warm.
What Is Speculative Decoding Acceptance Rate, and Why Does It Matter?
Decode the acceptance metric, draft verification, rejection behavior, speedup limits, workload variation, and measurement for local inference.
What Is Prefill-Decode Disaggregation, and Why Does It Change LLM Serving?
Decode phase separation, KV transfer, independent scaling, interference control, latency objectives, and limits for local LLM serving.
