If you’re doing GraphRAG in the style of Microsoft’s original model , where the graph is inferred dynamically by the LLM and used primarily for retrieval or reasoning , then Neo4j is often overkill in my opinion. Not to mention its performa

Neo4j has bet the farm on GraphRag. Unfortunately - I don’t think the return on investment is there even if using Neo4j community edition - and even then - I think there are better options. Good article though.

If you are using community edition - check out the DozerDB plugin which adds enterprise features to Neo4j community such as multi database. Its still in its infancy but has already implemented multi db and enterprise constraints. https:&

Will more information that could touch on what you mentioned be in their S-1 registration if they attempt an IPO? I need to search through all the court documents to see if there are any more details about prior years. Good thing I have

Seems mostly like hype. The analysis below seems to show that GraphRag with @Neo4j offers minimal improvement in context retrieval and only slight gains in answer relevancy and faithfulness. https://aiencoder.substack.com/p&

Why would the investors of Neo4j take control of Neo4j Inc? I believe the COO was removed as COO around the time I first heard this. I hope Neo4j Inc does not get desperate and add terms to their Neo4j Community Edition making it proprietar

It seems from their repo (need to verify) that they did the right thing and changed the License to their own license name called Dgraph Community License (DCL) Compare this to Neo4j, who added the commons clause to the AGPL License complete

I never saw this. If Dgraph has the commons clause then it is no longer open source or free software (as in libre free). If they are still calling it open source, they should be warned the courts have ruled that the commons clause means ‘no

All hype in my opinion, and apparently the #2 committer of the project may agree. He agrees that @neo4j is slower than a “normal vector db”. “if you are not dealing with many documents, it works quite well” “Neo4j might not be optimized for

Yes they closed the enterprise source code. They first tried adding the commons clause, then when that did not accomplish what they wanted, they closed the enterprise source code. The kicker is that this was not because of behemoth like Ama

Funny to see people talking about the case. I thought it was interesting that the 9th circuit made so many mistakes that they had to append the ruling. The fact that they got the defendants wrong is quite strange to me. The Graph Foundat

There is a very bizarre story behind Neo4j Inc's behavior and what lead to them adding the commons clause to the enterprise AGPL license. They seem to be ready to go closed source, which they should have just done in the first place in
