Report #101753

[frontier] Naive vector RAG misses relationships and multi-hop reasoning in my agent's memory.

Build a hybrid memory layer that stores entity-relationship triples in a knowledge graph alongside dense embeddings. Retrieve with graph traversal for relational questions and vector similarity for semantic questions, then let the LLM synthesize both.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG \(chunk, embed, top-k\) fails when the answer requires connecting entities across documents or reasoning about communities. Microsoft GraphRAG, A-Mem, Mem0's graph extension, and Zep's temporal knowledge graph all converge on the same hybrid design: vector for similarity, graph for structure. Tradeoffs: graph construction is more expensive at ingestion and requires schema decisions, but retrieval quality and explainability jump dramatically. In 2025 this is becoming the production default for agent memory.
