Vector Databases vs Knowledge Graphs: Picking the Right AI Knowledge Base
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-10-14
- Vector-based knowledge bases: convert documents to embeddings in a vector store and retrieve by semantic similarity — suited to document search and RAG. Tools: Qdrant, Weaviate, Milvus.
- Knowledge graphs: represent information as entities and relationships (e.g., Company→Builds→Product→Uses→Technology), enabling multi-hop reasoning and discovery of indirect connections. Tools: Neo4j, Microsoft GraphRAG.
