Text-Attributed Graphs (TAGs) combine textual semantics with graph structure and are central to many graph learning tasks. However, existing fusion methods often treat text and structure as separate inputs in a shallow, one-way pipeline, which limits deep interaction between modalities and weakens performance under sparse connectivity or cross-graph generalisation.
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.

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.

The paper reinterprets graph neural networks (GNNs) as retrieval-augmented models, where each layer uses an MLP on a node representation and a permutation‑invariant summary of retrieved graph context instead of traditional message passing. It introduces RTA, a lightweight MLP‑based framework that replaces structural message passing with label‑aware retrieval and propagation, and provides theoretical links to softmax‑attention message passing and robustness to mis‑retrieved outliers. Experiments on text‑attributed graph benchmarks demonstrate that RTA matches or surpasses strong GNN and graph LLM baselines while improving efficiency and robustness.
