Researchers evaluated the GraphRAG pipeline for retrieving information from Electronic Health Record (EHR) schemas using open-source large language models deployed on consumer hardware. The study benchmarked models like Llama 3.1, Mistral, Qwen 2.5, and Phi-4-mini on a single GPU, assessing indexing efficiency, knowledge graph construction, latency, and answer quality. Results indicated that models below approximately 7 billion parameters struggle with structured output errors, and local retrieval generally outperformed global summarization in terms of speed and factual accuracy.
