+# REFRAG Pipeline Example
+
+> **Compress-Sense-Expand Architecture for ~30x RAG Latency Reduction**
+
+This example demonstrates the REFRAG (Rethinking RAG) framework from [arXiv:2509.01092](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.01092) using ruvector as the underlying vector store.
+
+## Overview
+
+Traditional RAG systems return text chunks that must be tokenized and processed by the LLM. REFRAG instead stores pre-computed "representation tensors" and uses a lightweight policy network to decide whether to return:
+
+- **COMPRESS**: The tensor representation (directly injectable into LLM context)
+- **EXPAND**: The original text (for cases where full context is needed)
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+### Compress Layer (`compress.rs`)
+
+Stores representation tensors in binary format with multiple compression strategies:
+
+| Strategy | Compression | Use Case |
+|----------|-------------|----------|
+| `None` | 1x | Maximum precision |
+| `Float16` | 2x | Good balance |
+| `Int8` | 4x | Memory constrained |
+| `Binary` | 32x | Extreme compression |
+
+### Sense Layer (`sense.rs`)
+
+Policy network that decides the response type for each retrieved chunk:
+
+| Policy | Latency | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `ThresholdPolicy` | ~2μs | Cosine similarity threshold |
+| `LinearPolicy` | ~5μs | Single layer classifier |
+| `MLPPolicy` | ~15μs | Two-layer neural network |
+
+### Expand Layer (`expand.rs`)
+
+Projects tensors to target LLM dimensions when needed:
+
+| Source | Target | LLM |
+|--------|--------|-----|
+| 768 | 4096 | LLaMA-3 8B |
+| 768 | 8192 | LLaMA-3 70B |
+| 1536 | 8192 | GPT-4 |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run the demo
+cargo run --bin refrag-demo
+
+# Run benchmarks (use release for accurate measurements)
+cargo run --bin refrag-benchmark --release
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```rust
+use refrag_pipeline_example::{RefragStore, RefragEntry};
+
+// Create REFRAG-enabled store
+let store = RefragStore::new(384, 768)?;
+
+// Insert with representation tensor
+let entry = RefragEntry::new("doc_1", search_vector, "The quick brown fox...")
+    .with_tensor(tensor_bytes, "llama3-8b");
+store.insert(entry)?;
+
+// Standard search (text only)
+let results = store.search(&query, 10)?;
+
+// Hybrid search (policy-based COMPRESS/EXPAND)
+let results = store.search_hybrid(&query, 10, Some(0.85))?;
+
+for result in results {
+    match result.response_type {
+        RefragResponseType::Compress => {
+            println!("Tensor: {} dims", result.tensor_dims.unwrap());
+        }
+        RefragResponseType::Expand => {
+            println!("Text: {}", result.content.unwrap());
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+
+```rust
+use refrag_pipeline_example::{
+    RefragStoreBuilder,
+    PolicyNetwork,
+    ExpandLayer,
+};
+
+let store = RefragStoreBuilder::new()
+    .search_dimensions(384)
+    .tensor_dimensions(768)
+    .target_dimensions(4096)
+    .compress_threshold(0.85)  // Higher = more COMPRESS
+    .auto_project(true)
+    .policy(PolicyNetwork::mlp(768, 32, 0.85))
+    .expand_layer(ExpandLayer::for_roberta())
+    .build()?;
+```
+
+### Response Format
+
+REFRAG search returns a hybrid response format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "id": "doc_1",
+      "score": 0.95,
+      "response_type": "EXPAND",
+      "content": "The quick brown fox...",
+      "policy_confidence": 0.92
+    },
+    {
+      "id": "doc_2",
+      "score": 0.88,
+      "response_type": "COMPRESS",
+      "tensor_b64": "base64_encoded_float32_array...",
+      "tensor_dims": 4096,
+      "alignment_model_id": "llama3-8b",
+      "policy_confidence": 0.97
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+### Latency Breakdown
+
+| Component | Latency |
+|-----------|---------|
+| Vector search (HNSW) | 100-500μs |
+| Policy decision | 1-50μs |
+| Tensor decompression | 1-10μs |
+| Projection (optional) | 10-100μs |
+| **Total** | **~150-700μs** |
+
+### Comparison to Traditional RAG
+
+| Operation | Traditional | REFRAG |
+|-----------|-------------|--------|
+| Text tokenization | 1-5ms | N/A |
+| LLM context prep | 5-20ms | ~100μs |
+| Network transfer | 10-50ms | ~1-5ms |
+| **Speedup** | - | **10-30x** |
+
+## Why REFRAG Works for RuVector
+
+1. **Rust/WASM**: Python implementations suffer from loop overhead. RuVector runs the policy in SIMD-optimized Rust (<50μs decisions).
+
+2. **Edge Deployment**: The WASM build can serve as a "Smart Context Compressor" in the browser, sending only necessary tokens/tensors to the server LLM.
+
+3. **Zero-Copy**: Using `rkyv` serialization enables direct memory access to tensors without deserialization.
+
+## Future Integration
+
+This example demonstrates REFRAG concepts without modifying ruvector-core. For production use, consider:
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Add `RefragEntry` as new struct in ruvector-core
+2. **Phase 2**: Integrate policy network into ruvector-router
+3. **Phase 3**: Update REST API with hybrid response format
+
+See [Issue #10](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector/issues/10) for the full integration proposal.

+//! # REFRAG Pipeline Example
+//!
+//! This example demonstrates the REFRAG (Rethinking RAG) framework for ~30x latency reduction
+//! in Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems.
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! The pipeline consists of three layers:
+//!
+//! 1. **Compress Layer**: Stores pre-computed "Chunk Embeddings" as binary tensors
+//! 2. **Sense Layer**: Policy network decides whether to return tensor or text
+//! 3. **Expand Layer**: Projects tensors to target LLM dimensions if needed
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use refrag_pipeline_example::{RefragStore, RefragEntry};
+//!
+//! // Create REFRAG-enabled store
+//! let store = RefragStore::new(768, 4096).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // Insert with representation tensor
+//! let entry = RefragEntry::new("doc_1", vec![0.1; 768], "The quick brown fox...")
+//!     .with_tensor(vec![0u8; 768 * 4], "llama3-8b");
+//! store.insert(entry).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // Search with policy-based routing
+//! let query = vec![0.1; 768];
+//! let results = store.search_hybrid(&query, 10, Some(0.85)).unwrap();
+//! ```
