✂️Chunking Strategies

✂️ Chunking strategies determine how documents are split into passages. This is one of the most important factors in retrieval quality.

Principles

• Size: Very small chunks lose context; very large chunks add noise.
• Overlap: A small overlap between chunks preserves continuity of meaning.
• Natural boundaries: Split at headings and paragraphs, not in the middle of a sentence.

💡 Test different sizes and review retrieval debugging results to find the best fit for your content.
