Section 1
The premise
AI can scaffold an AI Weaviate hybrid search query that combines BM25 and vector ranking with a tunable alpha.
What AI does well here
- Generate hybrid query code with metadata filters and per-class config
- Produce a tuning notebook that sweeps alpha against labeled data
What AI cannot do
- Pick the right alpha without labeled ground truth
- Verify that BM25 tokenization matches your domain
