# RAG Optimized Models
---

RAG-Optimized Models -  1-7B parameter models designed for RAG workflow integration and running locally. </summary>  

## Meet our Models   

- **SLIM model series:** small, specialized models fine-tuned for function calling and multi-step, multi-model Agent workflows.  
- **DRAGON model series:**  Production-grade RAG-optimized 6-7B parameter models - "Delivering RAG on ..." the leading foundation base models.  
- **BLING model series:**  Small CPU-based RAG-optimized, instruct-following 1B-3B parameter models.  
- **Industry BERT models:**  out-of-the-box custom trained sentence transformer embedding models fine-tuned for the following industries:  Insurance, Contracts, Asset Management, SEC.  
- **GGUF Quantization:** we provide 'gguf' and 'tool' versions of many SLIM, DRAGON and BLING models, optimized for CPU deployment.

                "computers were learning checkers strategies, solving word problems in algebra, "
                "proving logical theorems and speaking English.  By the middle of the 1960s, research in "
                "the U.S. was heavily funded by the Department of Defense and laboratories had been "
                "established around the world. Herbert Simon predicted, 'machines will be capable, "
                "within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do'.  Marvin Minsky agreed, writing, "
                "'within a generation ... the problem of creating 'artificial intelligence' will "
                "substantially be solved'. They had, however, underestimated the difficulty of the problem.  "

                "to the criticism of Sir James Lighthill and ongoing pressure from the US Congress "

                "real-world tasks, thus discrediting the approach altogether.  The 'AI winter', a period "
                "when obtaining funding for AI projects was difficult, followed.  In the early 1980s, "
                "AI research was revived by the commercial success of expert systems, a form of AI "
                "program that simulated the knowledge and analytical skills of human experts. By 1985, "
                "the market for AI had reached over a billion dollars. At the same time, Japan's fifth "
                "generation computer project inspired the U.S. and British governments to restore funding "
                "for academic research. However, beginning with the collapse of the Lisp Machine market "
                "in 1987, AI once again fell into disrepute, and a second, longer-lasting winter began."},
