VectorRAG is naive, lacks domain awareness, and can’t handle full dataset retrieval

If we were building a GenAI stack today, we'd start with one question: Can your retrieval system handle multi-hop logic? Trick question, b/c most can’t. They treat retrieval as nearest-neighbor search. Today, we discussed scaling #GraphRAG at AWS DevOps Day, and the takeaway is clear: VectorRAG is naive, lacks domain awareness, and can’t handle full dataset retrieval. GraphRAG builds a knowledge graph from source documents, allowing for a deeper understanding of the data + higher accuracy.
