Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the headline numbers are the author's own single run per variant over 100 queries, so the confidence intervals are query-level and not multi-run evidence. The pools sample C-MTEB/T2Reranking content, and the card states the work is independent community research not affiliated with TypeSafe.
