LEGO-GraphRAG: Modularizing Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Design Space Exploration
Summary: LEGO-GraphRAG decomposes GraphRAG into fine-grained, composable modules, classifying existing techniques and enabling systematic instance construction. Large-scale experiments expose trade-offs among reasoning quality, latency, and token/GPU cost. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
