Llama 3.2 3B - SQL Query Generator (LoRA Fine-tuned)

This model is a fine-tuned version of meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B for text-to-SQL generation using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) on the Spider dataset.

Model Description

• Base Model: Llama 3.2 3B
• Fine-tuning Method: LoRA (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning)
• Quantization: 4-bit NF4 with double quantization
• Dataset: Spider (7,000 training examples)
• Training: 3 epochs, ~47 minutes on AWS g5.2xlarge (NVIDIA A10G)
• Final Training Loss: 0.37 (85% reduction from initial 2.5)

Intended Use

This model converts natural language questions into SQL queries for various database schemas. It's designed for:

• Automated SQL query generation
• Data analysis assistants
• Natural language database interfaces
• Educational tools for SQL learning

Usage

Installation

pip install transformers peft torch bitsandbytes

Inference Example

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "Abhisek987/llama-3.2-sql-lora"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Prepare prompt
database = "employees"
question = "What are the names of all employees who earn more than 50000?"

prompt = f"""### Instruction:
You are a SQL expert. Generate a SQL query to answer the given question for the specified database.

### Input:
Database: {database}
Question: {question}

### Response:
"""

# Generate SQL
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=256,
    temperature=0.1,
    do_sample=True
)

sql_query = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(sql_query.split("### Response:")[-1].strip())

Output:

SELECT name FROM employees WHERE salary > 50000;

Example Queries

Limitations

• Trained specifically on Spider dataset schemas
• May not generalize perfectly to significantly different database structures
• Requires proper database schema context for best results
• 4-bit quantization may occasionally affect numerical precision

Technical Stack

• Framework: PyTorch + Transformers
• Quantization: BitsAndBytes (4-bit NF4)
• Fine-tuning: PEFT (LoRA)
• Training: AWS EC2 g5.2xlarge (NVIDIA A10G 24GB)
