AliGraph: A Comprehensive Graph Neural Network Platform

Summary: AliGraph is an Alibaba-deployed end-to-end GNN platform integrating distributed graph storage, optimized sampling, caching, and an extensible runtime for billion-scale graphs. On 493M vertices and 6.82B edges, it builds graphs in 5 minutes and achieves up to 12× faster training. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
