It happens very frequently if you happen to work on anything low level, e.g. a C code base, a database code base, etc. that deals with memory, and these have nothing to do with cyber security. It is extremely annoying and makes these models unusable.

81%is nothing. It is not hard to be more than 3x better than Postgres [1]. And you don’t need a model to do that, let alone a 4B model. How much additional compute is needed to just run that model?

Datalevin seems to fit the bill https://datalevin.org/docs

First paragraph of preface: “SQL has been the default language of application databases for half a century. That default is now holding application state back. Datalevin is a database built to replace SQL databases at the center of application systems: it stores data as small facts and queries those facts with Datalog”

Datalog exists and there are so many implementations.

Agree. Especially when Datalog queries are simpler to write and faster to run than SQL, there is a strong reason to at least try it.

So this really is a NL to query translation problem. That exactly is why the target language matters. Simpler target languages makes AI’s work easier, as it saves tokens and context, so it is less likely for AI to make mistakes.

AI programming using English makes the database query language choice more important than before. Different languages require different context sizes. A better language is one requires less tokens and context.

I am the author of Datalevin, a Datalog database. In addition to using it in production personally, I am aware of other people using it. So, the answer is yes.

It is older than C. It is based on COBOL era idea of structured English as a computer language. There are better alternatives, e.g. Datalog.

Agree. Datalog could be a better alternative: https://datalevin.org/docs/preface

Doesn’t seem to work on code, where there is often little choices
