Microsoft researchers have introduced LazyGraphRAG, a novel system that removes the need for expensive initial data summarization, reducing indexing costs to nearly the same level as vector RAG.
LazyGraphRAG employs an iterative deepening approach that combines best-first and breadth-first search strategies, achieving efficiency while maintaining quality.
LazyGraphRAG achieves answer quality comparable to GraphRAG's global search but at 0.1% of its indexing cost, outperforming other competing systems on local and global queries.
LazyGraphRAG represents a groundbreaking advancement in retrieval-augmented generation, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for extracting insights from vast datasets.
