Text-to-SQL with LoRA fine-tuning on a LLaMA-style model

GitHub LoRA fine-tune

LLaMA LoRA PyTorch

Text-to-SQL with LoRA

Fine-tuned a LLaMA-style model on natural-language / SQL pairs with LoRA, then benchmarked query correctness and execution success against the base model. Small adapters, real gains.
