Feather-SQL: A Lightweight NL2SQL Framework with Dual-Model Collaboration Paradigm for Small Language Models

Understand

Natural Language to SQL (NL2SQL) has seen significant advancements with large language models (LLMs).

• However, these models often depend on closed-source systems and high computational resources, posing challenges in data privacy and deployment.
• In contrast, small language models (SLMs) struggle with NL2SQL tasks, exhibiting poor performance and incompatibility with existing frameworks.
• To address these issues, we introduce Feather-SQL, a new lightweight framework tailored for SLMs.
