We are rewriting the rules of retrieval. Token by token.
Single-vector search retrieves themes. NextPlaid retrieves answers.

LightOn NextPlaid, the new multi-vector search engine, is now live in Paradigm. Retrieval now operates at the token level, surfacing the exact passage your question deserves, with surgical precision, every time.

More signal. Sharper context. Maximum efficiency for the LLM.

That’s Blanc in our Bleu / Blanc / Rouge roadmap. After transforming complex documents into clean, exploitable text, we now make them fully searchable, with the accuracy enterprise AI demands.

Blanc is live. Rouge is next. Watch this space. That’s Paradigm: expert AI, real results.

The standard is ours to set.

Introducing LightOn NextPlaid

Designed to run alongside your existing vector database, it lets teams add multi-vector retrieval to their RAG stack with minimal integration.
