Llama3.2 to SQL queries aren't that different from pandas other than being faster. 2.4 million row CSV/postegresql I'm using for testing, so I can actually check manually to confirm accuracy of the LLMs. Not bad except a couple times it told me DNS resolution was 0ms which is incorrect (was 60ms).

Spent the evening swapping models in my query tool to see accuracy differences. Various versions of Llama, Mistral, etc. So far best results with Llama3.2 though they're all fine for these simple queries. Of course I'm doing this with straight python and not SQL so it's sloooow but that's ok for now
