Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities across tasks, but they still struggle with complex reasoning that requires integrating scattered knowledge. Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) addresses this challenge by organizing fragment knowledge as graphs, while recent Graph Foundation Models (GFMs) further improve GraphRAG with graph-native retrieval and reasoning capabilities. However, existing GraphRAG methods usually adopt decoupled retrieve-then-generate pipelines, which create objective misalignment between retrieval and reasoning, and training GFM retrievers typically depends on expensive human annotations. To address these limitations, we propose \ourmethod, a unified end-to-end GraphRAG framework that tightly couples a GFM retriever with an LLM generator. Given a query, the GFM retriever first reasons over the graph to score and retrieve relevant document nodes. These node embeddings are then passed through a fully differentiable graph bridge, which projects them into soft-weighted graph prefixes according to retrieval scores and combines them with raw document texts to form graph-augmented prompts. In this way, structural information is injected directly into LLM generation, while the final answer loss can be back-propagated through the bridge to jointly optimize retrieval and reasoning. To stabilize training and reduce reliance on costly annotations, we further introduce a semantic-guided distillation module that provides auxiliary supervision using pseudo-labels derived from query-document semantic similarities. Extensive experiments on three multi-hop QA datasets and three out-of-domain GraphRAG benchmarks show that \ourmethod consistently outperforms strong baseline methods and generalizes well, which demonstrates the effectiveness of end-to-end GraphRAG with tightly integrated GFM retrieval and LLM reasoning.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has long been a promising paradigm for enhancing large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge. Traditional embedding-based methods for graph construction can capture semantic similarity but struggle to establish fine-grained, interpretable logical relationships. Recently, Graph-enhanced RAG (GraphRAG) has gained increasing popularity for its capability in modeling logical relationships. However, graph construction requires extensive token consumption for triple extraction and summarization, making it costly and slow. Accordingly, we propose MeshRAG, a novel framework for mining efficient structures via hashing to enhance RAG. We adopt an inductive paradigm in which global graph structure emerges from local hash collisions rather than explicit symbolic extraction. By replacing neural embedding search with lightweight and bitwise operations, MeshRAG automates a simple and rapid graph construction process. Furthermore, the hash collision mechanism provides transparent evidence for logical connections and retrieval decisions. Experimental results show that MeshRAG outperforms existing baselines, while its graph construction requires no GPU resources or token budget and can structure over ten thousand chunks in a few minutes.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has demonstrated significant potential in enhancing large language models (LLMs) by supplementing external knowledge. However, existing approaches focus primarily on retrieving isolated factual knowledge entities while neglecting the critical reasoning relationships. To address this limitation, Graph-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) has emerged as an effective solution, which explicitly integrates structured knowledge graphs to support complex reasoning tasks. Although diverse graph construction methods have been explored, they typically rely on static, query-agnostic graphs constructed via fixed heuristics. We are thereby motivated to propose a query-centric retrieval framework that adaptively constructs a graph tailored to each query. However, it is challenging to accurately identify these latent relationships from queries to the corpus. Moreover, unifying multiple local-perspective connections into a globally coherent structured corpus introduces additional complexity. To this end, we introduce HyperRAG, a novel framework in the Hyperbolic space that captures both explicit entity-based links and implicit query-aware connections. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that HyperRAG consistently outperforms existing baselines.
