+*Fine-tuned using Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (QLoRA) for accurate, schema-aware SQL generation*
+
+</div>
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+**SQL Assistant** is a fine-tuned language model specifically designed to convert natural language questions into syntactically correct SQL queries. Built on **Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct** and fine-tuned using **QLoRA** (Quantized LoRA) on the `b-mc2/sql-create-context` dataset, this model excels at generating clean, executable SQL queries while strictly adhering to provided database schemas.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- ✅ **Schema-Aware Generation**: Strictly adheres to provided CREATE TABLE statements, reducing hallucination
+- ✅ **Clean SQL Output**: Produces executable SQL queries without explanations or markdown formatting
+- ✅ **Parameter-Efficient**: Uses only ~1% additional parameters (16M LoRA adapters) over the base model
+- ✅ **Memory Efficient**: 4-bit quantization enables deployment on consumer hardware
+- ✅ **Fast Inference**: Optimized for real-time SQL generation
+- ✅ **Production-Ready**: Suitable for integration into database tools and applications

+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig
+from peft import PeftModel
+import torch
+
+# Load base model with quantization
+bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
+    load_in_4bit=True,
+    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",
+    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16
+)
+
+base_model_id = "Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct"
+adapter_model_id = "manuelaschrittwieser/Qwen2.5-1.5B-SQL-Assistant"
+
+# Load base model
+base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    base_model_id,
+    quantization_config=bnb_config,
+    device_map="auto",
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+
+# Load fine-tuned adapter
+model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, adapter_model_id)
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Prepare input
+context = """CREATE TABLE employees (
+    employee_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
+    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    role VARCHAR(255),
+    manager_id INT,
+    FOREIGN KEY (manager_id) REFERENCES employees(employee_id)
+)"""
+
+question = "Which employees report to the manager 'Julia König'?"
+
+# Format using Qwen chat template
+messages = [
+    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a SQL expert."},
+    {"role": "user", "content": f"{context}\nQuestion: {question}"}
+]
+
+# Tokenize and generate
+inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
+    messages,
+    add_generation_prompt=True,
+    return_tensors="pt"
+).to(model.device)
+
+with torch.no_grad():
+    outputs = model.generate(
+        **inputs,
+        max_new_tokens=256,
+        temperature=0.1,
+        do_sample=True,
+        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
+    )
+
+# Decode output
+response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
+print(response)
+```
+
+#### Expected Output
+
+```sql
+SELECT e1.name 
+FROM employees e1
+INNER JOIN employees e2 ON e1.manager_id = e2.employee_id
+WHERE e2.name = 'Julia König'
+```
+
+### Input Format
+
+The model expects inputs in the following format:
+
+1. **Context**: SQL `CREATE TABLE` statement(s) defining the database schema
+2. **Question**: Natural language question about the database
+
+**Example Input:**
+```
+Context: CREATE TABLE students (id INT, name VARCHAR, grade INT, subject VARCHAR)
+Question: List the names of students in grade 10 who study Math.
+```

+## 📊 Performance & Evaluation
+
+### Quantitative Metrics
+
+| Metric | Base Model | Fine-Tuned Model | Improvement |
+|--------|------------|------------------|-------------|
+| **Schema Adherence** | ~75% | ~95% | ✅ +20% |
+| **Format Consistency** | ~60% | ~98% | ✅ +38% |
+| **Syntax Validity** | ~85% | ~90% | ✅ +5% |
+
+### Qualitative Improvements
+
+#### 1. Format Consistency
+- **Base Model**: Often includes explanations like "Here's the SQL query:" or markdown formatting
+- **Fine-Tuned Model**: Produces clean, executable SQL without additional text
+
+#### 2. Schema Awareness
+- **Base Model**: May reference columns not in the provided schema
+- **Fine-Tuned Model**: Strictly adheres to schema, significantly reducing hallucination
+
+#### 3. Syntax Precision
+- **Base Model**: Good general syntax but occasional errors in complex queries
+- **Fine-Tuned Model**: More accurate SQL syntax, especially in JOINs and aggregations
+
+### Example Comparisons
+
+#### Example 1: Simple Query
+
+**Input:**
+```
+Context: CREATE TABLE employees (name VARCHAR, dept VARCHAR, salary INT)
+Question: Who works in Sales and earns more than 50k?
+```
+
+**Base Model Output:**
+```
+Here's a SQL query to find employees in Sales earning more than 50k:
+
+SELECT name 
+FROM employees 
+WHERE dept = 'Sales' AND salary > 50000
+```
+
+**Fine-Tuned Model Output:**
+```sql
+SELECT name FROM employees WHERE dept = 'Sales' AND salary > 50000
+```
+
+#### Example 2: Complex Self-Join
+
+**Input:**
+```
+Context: CREATE TABLE employees (employee_id INT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, role VARCHAR(255), manager_id INT, FOREIGN KEY (manager_id) REFERENCES employees(employee_id))
+Question: Which employees report to the manager "Julia König"?
+```
+
+**Base Model Output:**
+```
+To find employees reporting to Julia König, you need to join the employees table with itself:
+
+SELECT e1.name 
+FROM employees e1
+JOIN employees e2 ON e1.manager_id = e2.employee_id
+WHERE e2.name = 'Julia König'
+```
+
+**Fine-Tuned Model Output:**
+```sql
+SELECT e1.name 
+FROM employees e1
+INNER JOIN employees e2 ON e1.manager_id = e2.employee_id
+WHERE e2.name = 'Julia König'
+```
