The best inclusionAI model for RAG is Ring-2.6-1T — 30.6 intelligence with 262K tokens of context for retrieved passages. Ling-2.6-1T (26.1) and Ling-2.6-flash (14.1) round out the top three.
The best AI models for retrieval-augmented generation, ranked by intelligence among models with at least 128K tokens of context — enough to hold retrieved passages plus conversation. RAG pipelines run at volume, so weigh the price and speed columns as hard as the score.
