I’m curious how teams are handling answer reuse in production RAG systems.

We’ve looked at: • naive semantic caching • query similarity thresholds • embedding-based reuse

…but correctness risk seems to make most of these approaches scary in practice, especially when: • source docs change • retrieval context shifts • similar queries require different answers

Are teams: • avoiding answer reuse entirely? • limiting reuse to very narrow FAQ-style flows? • using some form of conservative gating or shadow evaluation?

Not looking for vendor recommendations — just trying to understand what’s actually working (or failing) in real systems.

Thanks!

This time I ported the new Qwen 3 TTS model to Rust using Candle: https://github.com/TrevorS/qwen3-tts-rs

It took a few days to get the first intelligible audio, but eventually voice cloning and voice design were working as well. I was never able to get in context learning (ICL) to work, neither with the original Python code, or with this library.

I've tested that CPU, CUDA, and Metal are all working. Check it out, peek at the code, let me know what you think!

P.S. -- new (to me) Claude Code trick: when working on a TTS speech model, write a skill to run the output through speech to text to verify the results. :)
