LightRAG and GraTAG

These two tools appear to be **competitors**, as both aim to improve retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by addressing different aspects of the retrieval and generation process, with LightRAG focusing on simplicity and speed, and GraTAG on leveraging graph-based query decomposition and triplet-aligned generation for multimodal search.
