BigQuery Graph goes GA with 100x traversal gain

Google Cloud made BigQuery Graph generally available and says undirected traversal is now 100× faster than in preview, while GQL runs 2× faster. The GA announcement puts graph traversal, SQL, BigQuery ML, and AI functions in one petabyte-scale engine with no ETL, and adds an auditable context graph for agent actions. For builders grounding agents on connected enterprise data, this makes graph-RAG worth benchmarking against another vector index; OfficeQA’s harness results show why retrieval and orchestration—not model branding alone—decide production accuracy.
