120B Text-to-SQL Model Distilled to 3B for Consumer Laptops

A developer has successfully distilled a large 120 billion parameter text-to-SQL model into a significantly smaller 3 billion parameter version. This process was achieved using a zero-cost, multi-agent distillation pipeline that leverages free-tier LLM APIs. The resulting smaller model is capable of running on a consumer laptop and is production-ready for SQL generation tasks. AI

IMPACT Enables running powerful SQL generation models on consumer hardware, potentially democratizing access to advanced data analysis tools.
