The modern information retrieval field increasingly relies on hybrid search systems combining sparse retrieval with dense neural models. However, most existing hybrid frameworks employ static mixing coefficients and independent component training, failing to account for the specific needs of individual queries and corpus heterogeneity. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive hybrid retrieval framework featuring query-driven alpha prediction that dynamically calibrates the mixing weights based on query latent representations instantiated in a lightweight low-latency configuration and a full-capacity encoder-scale predictor, enabling flexible trade-offs between computational efficiency and retrieval accuracy without relying on resource-inefficient LLM-based online evaluation. Furthermore, we propose antagonist negative sampling, a novel training paradigm that optimizes the dense encoder to resolve the systematic failures of the lexical retriever, prioritizing hard negatives where BM25 exhibits high uncertainty. Empirical evaluations on large-scale multilingual benchmarks (MLDR and MIRACL) indicate that our approach demonstrates superior average performance compared to state-of-the-art models such as BGE-M3 and mGTE, achieving an nDCG@10 of 74.3 on long-document retrieval. Notably, our framework recovers up to 92.5% of the theoretical oracle performance and yields significant improvements in nDCG@10 across 16 languages, particularly in challenging long-context scenarios.
