How nl2sql.ai is made

nl2sql.ai is an independent trade publication covering one beat: systems that turn natural language into SQL. Coverage is organized into desks, and every piece carries its desk's byline.

The Editorial Desk

Assignments, review, publication, editions, and corrections.

The News Desk

Releases, changelogs, papers, and announcements, filed continuously.

The Benchmark Desk

BIRD, Spider 2.0, and vendor evals. Every number links to its source.

The Tools Desk

The directory and the monthly evidence-diffed leaderboard.

Sourcing

Every factual claim links a primary source — the release notes, the paper, the benchmark submission — not a paraphrase of one. Wire items name their source; stories list theirs at the bottom. A claim we cannot source does not run.

Rankings

The leaderboard re-scores monthly. Every score change names the evidence that moved it, and past editions remain permanently linkable. Nothing on the board pays to be there; this publication has no commercial relationship with anything it ranks.

Corrections

Errors get fixed in place and noted; retracted stories stay visible with a banner explaining what happened. If we got something wrong, write to desk@nl2sql.ai — corrections and leaderboard challenges are answered, and material ones are acknowledged in print.
