OCC-RAG-1.7B

GitHub |<br>Technical Report |<br>Cloud

OCC-RAG-1.7B is a 1.7B-parameter small language model specialized for faithful, context-grounded question answering . Along with OCC-RAG-0.6B, it belongs to the first generation of Optimal Cognitive Core (OCC) specialized reasoning models. Given a question and a set of sources, it produces a structured reasoning trace with explicit source citations, decides whether the context actually supports an answer, and either answers from the context or abstains.

Despite its size, OCC-RAG-1.7B matches or exceeds general-purpose models 2–6Γ— larger on multi-hop reasoning, faithfulness, and refusal benchmarks, and attains the best faithfulness across all evaluated scales (up to 32B). It is mid-trained from Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base on a large synthetic corpus of multi-context, multi-hop QA with citation-anchored reasoning traces.

Highlights

Faithful by design β€” answers only from the supplied context; achieves the best faithfulness (lowest memorization ratio) across all evaluated scales, including 32B models.

Calibrated abstention β€” outputs Not enough information when the context does not support an answer.

Structured, citable reasoning β€” every answer comes with a transparent trace (query analysis β†’ source analysis β†’ reasoning β†’ status β†’ answer) that cites sources by id.

Compact β€” a small model that delivers...
