Qwen-3.5-4B-Spatial-SQL-1.1

Note

This is experimental. Models are for prototyping this general approach of text to spatial SQL.

Model Information

This model, Qwen-3.5-4B-Spatial-SQL-1.1, is a 4B, narrow use case, text to spatial SQL, lightly fine-tuned model. In general, its primary use case is the Natural Language command adaptation of particular geographic spatial functions as normally defined in pure SQL. Data input should be a combination of an English prefix in the form of a question, and a coordinate prompt injection, likely from an active mapping system application coordinate list. Output is PostGIS spatial SQL.

There are five primary geographic functions released in version 1.1.

Model developer: Mark Rodrigo

Github: https://github.com/mprodrigo/spatialsql

Model Architecture: The model is a QLoRA / Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT)

Model Input / Output Overview:

Input: Text plus coordinate prompt injection. </br> Output: PostGIS spatial SQL </br> NOTE: Inputs and outputs are in meters and or geographic decimal degrees WGS 84 coordinates.

</br>

Example Prompting

pipe = pipeline(task="text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, max_new_tokens=512, temperature=0.4, return_full_text=False,)

Build the messages </br> messages = [ </br> {"role": "system", "content": "Write a PostGIS SQL statement for the following."}, </br> {"role": "user", "content": "What is the thousand meter buffer for the following point? : 'Point(-3.78621945 40.4463195)'"}, </br> ]

Apply ChatML Template </br> prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False, )

llama.cpp / Hyperparameter Recommendations For Inference

max context ~ 262,000

<p></p> top k ~ 100 <p></p> temp ~ .4-.5 or lower

Agent Considerations

Agents are being considered as a separate project. Agents would mostly be related to pulling the coordinates from a mapping UI, and executing the SQL from responses against a PostGIS database.
