# Retrieval-Augmented Generation on Medical (Cost Evaluation) Source: [Retrieval-Augmented Generation on Medical (Cost Evaluation)]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-03-18T07:52:25.385Z Evaluation of the computational cost and latency associated with Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems using the Medical dataset, focusing on indexing time, querying time, and token usage costs. A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | Retrieval-Augmented Generation | | Dataset (including any stated split) | Medical | | Metric | Indexing Time (minutes) | | Unit | TIME | | Direction | Lower is better | | Results loaded | 11 of 11 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [Indexing Time (minutes)](): Lower is better; unit: TIME. - [Querying Time (minutes)](): Lower is better; unit: TIME. - [Input Token Cost (per query)](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. - [Output Token Cost (per query)](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | Indexing Time (minutes) | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | NaiveRAG | 7 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | MIXRAG | 11 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | G-Retriever | 12 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | AGRAG | 16 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | L.LLMLingua | 37 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | SiReRAG | 40 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | HippoRAG2 | 46 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | F.GraphRAG | 48 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | LightRAG | 116 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | RAPTOR | 117 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | | GraphRAG | 194 | Not recorded | 6912c3052828b7cc6937dbc7 | ### NaiveRAG Indexing Time (minutes): 7.
