Kuzu, Knowledge Graphs, and the AI Revolution with Prashanth Rao
In this episode of the Hedgineer Podcast, host Michael Watson is joined by Prashanth Rao, AI Engineer at Kuzu, for a deep dive into the world of embedded graph databases and their pivotal role in the age of AI. Building on the previous week's discussion of the columnar database DuckDB, this conversation explores Kuzu, a parallel concept focused on creating high-performance, embedded graph databases.
Michael and Prashanth explore why Kuzu's unique architecture—an embedded, columnar, and strictly-typed system—is delivering incredible speed and scalability for complex analytical queries. They discuss the resurgence of interest in knowledge graphs, driven by the need to impose structure on data for modern AI and LLM workflows. Prashanth explains how LLMs are revolutionizing both the upstream construction of graphs from unstructured data and the downstream querying of these graphs by translating natural language into the Cypher query language.
