OpenAI Reranker (Experimental) ​

Explore experimental search reranking using OpenAI's GPT models in LanceDB. Features configurable model selection, API key management, and comprehensive scoring options for all search types.

OpenAI Reranker (Experimental) ​

This reranker uses OpenAI chat model to rerank the search results. You can use this reranker by passing OpenaiReranker() to the rerank() method.

Note: Supported query types: Hybrid, Vector, and FTS.

Warning: This reranker is experimental. OpenAI does not have a dedicated reranking model, so it uses a chat model under the hood.

Replace your-api-key with your provider API key. In application code, load credentials from environment variables or a secrets manager.

python
import tempfile
from pathlib import Path

import lancedb
from lancedb.embeddings import get_registry
from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
from lancedb.rerankers import OpenaiReranker

embedder = get_registry().get("sentence-transformers").create()
db = lancedb.connect(str(Path(tempfile.mkdtemp()) / "openai-rerank"))

class Schema(LanceModel):
    text: str = embedder.SourceField()
    vector: Vector(embedder.ndims()) = embedder.VectorField()

data = [
    {"text": "hello world"},
    {"text": "goodbye world"},
]
tbl = db.create_table("test", schema=Schema)
tbl.add(data)
reranker = OpenaiReranker(api_key="your-api-key")

# Run vector search with a reranker
vector_results = tbl.search("hello").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_list()
print(vector_results)

# Build the full-text index before either FTS or hybrid search.
tbl.create_fts_index("text", replace=True)

# Run FTS search with a reranker
fts_results = (
    tbl.search("hello", query_type="fts").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_list()
)
print(fts_results)

# Run hybrid search with a reranker
hybrid_results = (
    tbl.search("hello", query_type="hybrid").rerank(reranker=reranker).to_list()
)
print(hybrid_results)

Accepted Arguments ​

ArgumentTypeDefaultDescription
model_namestr"gpt-5.6-sol"The name of the reranker model to use.
columnstr"text"The name of the column to use as input to the cross encoder model.
return_scorestr"relevance"Options are "relevance" or "all". The type of score to return. If "relevance", will return only the _relevance_score column. If "all" is supported, will return relevance score along with the vector and/or fts scores depending on query type.
api_keystrNoneThe API key to use. If None, will use the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.

Supported Scores for each query type ​

You can specify the type of scores you want the reranker to return. The following are the supported scores for each query type:

return_scoreStatusDescription
relevance✅ SupportedResults only have the _relevance_score column.
all❌ Not SupportedResults have vector(_distance) and FTS(score) along with Hybrid Search score(_relevance_score).
return_scoreStatusDescription
relevance✅ SupportedResults only have the _relevance_score column.
all✅ SupportedResults have vector(_distance) along with Hybrid Search score(_relevance_score).
return_scoreStatusDescription
relevance✅ SupportedResults only have the _relevance_score column.
all✅ SupportedResults have FTS(score) along with Hybrid Search score(_relevance_score).
