Stop scaling vector RAG if your users need multi-hop reasoning
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack2h ago
Standard RAG retrieves context but fails to connect dots across documents, leading to hallucinations in complex queries. If your product handles deeply relational enterprise data, you must evaluate GraphRAG now to avoid hitting a performance ceiling. This decision determines whether you invest further in vector stores or pivot to a Neo4j-based stack.
Takeaways
- Vector search alone cannot link disparate facts for complex multi-step queries.
- GraphRAG uses knowledge graphs to map relationships across your entire dataset.
- Transitioning to GraphRAG requires adding graph databases like Neo4j to your stack.
