The case for graph engineering: agent workflows are moving beyond simple loops
HamelHusain · x · 2026-07-21
The quoted article argues that "loop engineering" is being replaced by "graph engineering".
It frames the evolution as a sequence of shifts:
- from chain of thought to tree of thought to graph of thought
- from RAG to graph RAG to dynamic graph RAG
The core claim is that agent and retrieval systems are moving toward graph-based orchestration rather than simple loops.
