Description
I was playing around with embedding models and I realized the moving between embedding models on a large corpus can cause a huge backfill, as all of the previous documents would have to be re embedded.embedflow tries to forgo that; it takes candidate documents from the previous index, and reranks them in realtime with the new model. It supports faiss, qdrant, and pgvectorpeople who have migrated large production vector indexes, would this be helpful for you?

Could you build this?
Yes It is a straightforward Python retrieval utility that queries an existing vector database to fetch candidates and reranks them with a newer model.
