Show HN: A Simple GraphRAG Implementation

nano-GraphRAG is a simplified implementation of the GraphRAG model, designed to be smaller, faster, and cleaner than the official version while retaining core functionalities. The project consists of approximately 800 lines of code, excluding tests and prompts. Users can install nano-GraphRAG via PyPi or from the source by cloning the GitHub repository. To get started, users need to set their OpenAI API key, download a sample text, and utilize a provided Python snippet to perform queries. Key features include incremental data insertion, asynchronous methods, customizable storage options, integration with various language models, and support for custom embedding functions. Advanced usage allows for customization of prompts and storage, with benchmarks available for performance evaluation. However, some features from the original GraphRAG are not yet implemented, and future improvements are planned, focusing on better data source management and enhanced community reporting.

- nano-GraphRAG is a lightweight and efficient version of the GraphRAG model.

- Installation can be done via PyPi or by cloning the GitHub repository.

- The project supports asynchronous operations and customizable storage solutions.

- Users can perform both global and local queries on inserted data.

- Future updates aim to enhance functionality and community engagement.

This is really neat. It seems clear and usable… I may try it out in one of my projects and I hope you see lots of interest / success with it.

I love that you had an "issues" section https://github.com/gusye1234/nano-graphrag?tab=readme-ov-fil...

but how does that affect the performance, theoretically?
