The setup combines hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector search with binary-quantized embeddings) with multiple ranking profiles including LightGBM/GBDT for high-quality context selection. The guide covers deploying the blueprint via the Vespa Cloud console, installing NyRAG (a Python tool that handles data ingestion, chunking, embedding, and a chat UI), configuring credentials, indexing local documents or web pages, and querying via a chat interface. Four query profiles are explained: hybrid, hybrid-with-gbdt, deepresearch, and deepresearch-with-gbdt, each offering different tradeoffs between speed and retrieval quality. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
