Graph RAG replaces top-k chunk retrieval with graph traversal, and claims 32x memory savings

- A visual explainer compares naive RAG with Graph RAG.
- Naive RAG struggles when the task needs broad context, because it only retrieves top-k chunks.
- Graph RAG builds an entity-relation graph from documents, then traverses the graph to gather the right context before asking the LLM.
- The quoted article also claims an industry technique can make RAG 32x more memory efficient via binary quantization, with examples from Perplexity, Azure, and HubSpot.
- The post argues for moving from chunk retrieval to structured, progressive context selection.
