13
+ ## decisions-reranker
14
+
15
+ A simple reranker for RAG systems, built on top of the OpenAI Decisions API.
16
+
17
+ OpenAI doesn't offer a dedicated reranking model, so this package uses the Decisions API to fill that gap. If your stack already runs on OpenAI, you can add reranking without bringing in another provider.
18
+
19
+ ### requirements
20
+
21
+ This package calls the OpenAI API and requires an OpenAI API key. By default it creates an `OpenAI()` client, which reads the key from the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable:
22
+
23
+ ```bash
24
+ export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ Alternatively, pass your own configured client:
28
+
29
+ ```python
30
+ from openai import OpenAI
31
+ from decisions_reranker import DecisionsReranker
32
+
33
+ reranker = DecisionsReranker(client=OpenAI(api_key="sk-..."))
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ Each `filter()` or `rerank()` call makes one request to the Decisions API and is billed to your OpenAI account.
37
+
38
+ ### methods
39
+
40
+ ```python
41
+ DecisionsReranker().filter()
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ Filters a list of documents for relevance regarding a given query. Returns only documents above a given threshold.
45
+
46
+ ```python
47
+ DecisionsReranker().rerank()
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ Reorders a list of documents by relevance regarding a given query. Returns all documents in a new order.
51
+
52
+ ### parameters
53
+
54
+ The DecisionsReranker constructor takes the following parameters. All of them are optional:
55
+
56
+ ```python
57
+ client: OpenAI | None = None,
58
+ model: str = "gpt-6-luna",
59
+ instruction: str = DEFAULT_INSTRUCTION,
60
+ threshold: float = 0.5
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ ### Example usage
64
+
65
+ ```python
66
+ from decisions_reranker import DecisionsReranker, Document
67
+
68
+ reranker = DecisionsReranker(
69
+ instruction="Is this snippet relevant to answer the given query: {document}. Only answer with true if the snippet really contains directly relevant information for the question",
70
+ threshold=0.8,
71
+ )
72
+
73
+ query = "How can I reduce memory usage in a Python application?"
74
+
75
+ documents = [
76
+ { "id": "d01", "text": "Python generators yield items lazily, so you avoid loading an entire list into memory at once."},
77
+ { "id": "d02", "text": "Defining __slots__ on a Python class removes the per-instance __dict__ and cuts memory overhead."},
78
+ { "id": "d03", "text": "The tracemalloc module shows which lines of Python code allocate the most memory."},
79
+ { "id": "d04", "text": "Python's GIL prevents multiple threads from executing bytecode in parallel."},
80
+ { "id": "d05", "text": "NumPy arrays store numbers far more compactly than Python lists of int objects."}
81
+ ]
82
+
83
+ documents = [Document(id=d["id"], text=d["text"]) for d in documents]
84
+
85
+ filtered = reranker.filter(query, documents)
86
+
87
+ reranked = reranker.rerank(query, documents)
88
+
