LightRAG

RAG framework that builds a knowledge graph from documents, enabling retrieval at both local (specific facts) and global (thematic) levels. Outperforms naive RAG on complex questions requiring reasoning across multiple document sections. EMNLP 2025.

OpenAI API

API access to GPT-5, GPT-5.5, o3/o4 reasoning models, and the Responses API; plus embeddings, image, audio, and Realtime endpoints. The most widely deployed LLM API in production.
