The 2026 RAG Performance Paradox: Why Simpler Chunking Strategies Are Outperforming Complex AI-Driven Methods
FloTorch's 2026 benchmark shows that simple recursive character splitting at 512 tokens outperformed complex semantic and proposition-based chunking for RAG pipelines, delivering the highest accuracy and 3-5x lower vector counts and infrastructure costs.
