Graph Foundation Models (GFMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for learning transferable representations across diverse graph domains. Recent advancements in GFMs have been largely dominated by two paradigms: Graph Neural Network and Large Language Model (LLM) based methods.
arXiv:2509. 21489v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph foundation models face several fundamental challenges including transferability across diverse domains and data scarcity, which calls into question the very feasibility of creating such models.

The paper introduces PromptGFM, a Graph Foundation Model designed for text‑attributed graphs (TAGs). It integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) through a Graph Understanding Module that prompts LLMs to emulate GNN workflows, and a Graph Inference Module that creates a language‑based graph vocabulary for better alignment and scalability. Experiments show PromptGFM outperforms existing methods and transfers effectively across various graphs and tasks.
