# rerank()
[EN] Source: https://mastra.ai/reference/rag/rerank

The `rerank()` function provides advanced reranking capabilities for vector search results by combining semantic relevance, vector similarity, and position-based scoring.

```typescript
function rerank(
  results: QueryResult[],
  query: string,
  modelConfig: ModelConfig,
  options?: RerankerFunctionOptions,
): Promise<RerankResult[]>;
```

## Usage Example

```typescript
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { rerank } from "@mastra/rag";

const model = openai("gpt-4o-mini");

const rerankedResults = await rerank(
  vectorSearchResults,
  "How do I deploy to production?",
  model,
  {
    weights: {
      semantic: 0.5,
      vector: 0.3,
      position: 0.2,
    },
    topK: 3,
  },
);
```

## Parameters

<PropertiesTable
  content={[
    {
      name: "results",
      type: "QueryResult[]",
      description: "The vector search results to rerank",
      isOptional: false,
    },
    {
      name: "query",
      type: "string",
      description: "The search query text used to evaluate relevance",
      isOptional: false,
    },
    {
      name: "model",
      type: "MastraLanguageModel",
      description: "The language Model to use for reranking",
      isOptional: false,
    },
    {
      name: "options",
      type: "RerankerFunctionOptions",
      description: "Options for the reranking model",
      isOptional: true,
    },
  ]}
/>

The rerank function accepts any LanguageModel from the Vercel AI SDK. When using the Cohere model `rerank-v3.5`, it will automatically use Cohere's reranking capabilities.

> **Note:** For semantic scoring to work properly during re-ranking, each result must include the text content in its `metadata.text` field.
