RAG vs Graph RAG vs Agentic RAG: Three Approaches to Connecting LLMs to Your Data
ByteByteGo·June 27, 2026
New
Summary
ByteByteGo compares three retrieval approaches for giving LLMs access to organizational data: standard RAG, Graph RAG (using knowledge graphs), and Agentic RAG (where agents decide what to retrieve). Each has different reliability and complexity tradeoffs.
Why this signal
Thomas Engineering may need to choose a retrieval architecture for internal knowledge access. This comparison is a useful pre-evaluation reference for that conversation.
