3B LLM fine-tuned into production API for $0 cost

The author details the second phase of their de-swarm project, focusing on transforming a fine-tuned 3B text-to-SQL model into a production-ready API. This phase involved creating a FastAPI gateway that interfaces with Ollama, enabling the model to run efficiently on a low-cost VPS. The API successfully generated complex SQL queries for a SaaS schema, demonstrating its capability to handle multi-table joins and infer user intent for accurate data retrieval. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates how smaller, fine-tuned models can be productized into functional APIs for specific tasks, reducing reliance on larger, more expensive models.

RANK_REASON The article describes the development and deployment of a specific application (API) using existing AI models and tools, rather than a new model release or research breakthrough.
