Latest update (11-10 19:00): Hugging Face explains pooling-aware training for compressed multi-vector retrieval

Overview: Hugging Face's blog explains how token pooling shrinks multi-vector embedding stores and how pooling-aware training preserves retrieval quality at the same vector budget. The post says a normally trained model keeps 94.6% of unpooled NanoBEIR nDCG@10 at pool_factor=4, while pooling-aware training raises that retention to 97.8%.
