The Optimal Cognitive Core (OCC) team from AIRI has developed OCC-RAG, a family of compact language models (SLMs) designed for contextual question answering. Unlike large models focused on encyclopedic knowledge, OCC-RAG prioritizes reasoning and analysis of provided context. The initial release includes two checkpoints, OCC-RAG-0.6B and OCC-RAG-1.7B, which perform comparably to or better than much larger general-purpose models while demonstrating superior faithfulness to context among models up to 32B parameters.
