Arctic-Text2SQL-R1-7B is a 7-billion-parameter Text-to-SQL model fine-tuned using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with a simple execution-based reward signal. It converts natural language questions into executable SQL queries.
Lightweight RL formulation: Uses only execution correctness and syntax validity as rewards.
State-of-the-art performance: Achieves 68.9% execution accuracy on BIRD-dev and 68.5% on BIRD-test, with an average of 57.2% across six benchmarks (BIRD, Spider, Spider2.0, Spider-DK, EHRSQL, ScienceBenchmark)
Efficiency: Outperforms many 70B+ models with only 7B parameters.
