Introduction

We are excited to release the XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-2504 version, our latest SQL generation model. This version continues to optimize upon the previous version, delivering enhanced performance.

• Our model incorporates important explorations combining fine-tuning and GRPO training, leveraging the post-training strategies of GRPO without a thinking process, achieving both efficiency and accuracy in SQL generation.
• It demonstrates impressive performance and supports multiple dialects, ready to use out of the box.
• Improved generalization capabilities, excelling on different dialects and out-of-domain datasets.

In this evaluation, we have also added a real-world SQL benchmark (the DW test set), which serves as an important internal evaluation baseline. This test set includes thousands of complex queries from real scenarios in both PostgreSQL and MySQL dialects, effectively reflecting the model's performance across multiple dialects and out-of-domain data.

Performance

The XiYanSQL-QwenCoder models, as multi-dialect SQL base models, demonstrating robust SQL generation capabilities. The following presents the evaluation results at the time of release. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the model's performance under two schema formats, M-Schema, and original DDL, using the BIRD and Spider as SQLite benchmarks in the Text-to-SQL domain, as well as DW benchmarks for PostgreSQL and MySQL dialects.

Quickstart with Transformers and vLLM

Here is a simple code snippet for quickly using XiYanSQL-QwenCoder model. We provide a Chinese version of the prompt, and you just need to replace the placeholders for "question," "db_schema," and "evidence" to get started. We recommend using our M-Schema format for the schema; other formats such as DDL are also acceptable, but they may affect performance. Currently, we mainly support mainstream dialects like SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

Requirements

• transformers >= 4.37.0
• vllm >= 0.7.2

Inference with Transformers

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-3B-2504"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

## dialects -> ['SQLite', 'PostgreSQL', 'MySQL']
prompt = nl2sqlite_template_cn.format(dialect="", db_schema="", question="", evidence="")
message = [{'role': 'user', 'content': prompt}]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    message,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    temperature=0.1,
    top_p=0.8,
    do_sample=True,
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

Inference with vLLM

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
model_path = "XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-3B-2504"
llm = LLM(model=model_path, tensor_parallel_size=8)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    n=1,
    temperature=0.1,
    max_tokens=1024
)

## dialects -> ['SQLite', 'PostgreSQL', 'MySQL']
prompt = nl2sqlite_template_cn.format(dialect="", db_schema="", question="", evidence="")
message = [{'role': 'user', 'content': prompt}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    message,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
outputs = llm.generate([text], sampling_params=sampling_params)
response = outputs[0].outputs[0].text
