# jq-coder-0.6B
|
| 18 |
+
|
| 19 |
+
**Translates natural-language requests (English + Brazilian Portuguese) into executable
|
| 20 |
+
`jq` filters — 100% offline.** For the JSON you can't send to a cloud API: production
|
| 21 |
+
payloads, logs with PII, anything under NDA.
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
Every existing NL→jq tool (llm-jq, gpt-jq, jiq) ships your JSON to a hosted LLM. This
|
| 24 |
+
is a 0.6B full fine-tune of Qwen3-0.6B-Base that runs on your own machine — CPU-only is
|
| 25 |
+
fine — and answers in a fraction of a second. To our knowledge it is the first dedicated
|
| 26 |
+
NL→jq model published on Hugging Face, and it ships with the first benchmark of the
|
| 27 |
+
niche, [**jq-bench**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DominuZ/jq-bench).
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
## Quickstart
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
With [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp):
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
```bash
|
| 34 |
+
llama-server -m jq-coder-v13-release-Q8_0.gguf --port 8091 -ngl 99
|
| 35 |
+
```
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
```bash
|
| 38 |
+
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/chat/completions -d '{
|
| 39 |
+
"messages": [
|
| 40 |
+
{"role": "system",
|
| 41 |
+
"content": "You translate natural-language requests into jq filters. Reply with only the jq filter."},
|
| 42 |
+
{"role": "user",
|
| 43 |
+
"content": "get the id of every order\n\nJSON sample:\n{\"orders\": [{\"id\": 1, \"status\": \"done\"}]}"}
|
| 44 |
+
],
|
| 45 |
+
"temperature": 0
|
| 46 |
+
}'
|
| 47 |
+
```
|
| 48 |
+
|
| 49 |
+
Or with [Ollama](https://ollama.com), straight from this repo:
|
| 50 |
+
|
| 51 |
+
```bash
|
| 52 |
+
ollama run hf.co/DominuZ/jq-coder-0.6B:Q8_0
|
| 53 |
+
```
|
| 54 |
+
|
| 55 |
+
## Prompt format
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
ChatML (the chat template is embedded in the GGUF). The contract has two parts:
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
- **system**: `You translate natural-language requests into jq filters. Reply with only the jq filter.`
|
| 60 |
+
- **user**: the request, then a blank line, then `JSON sample:` and a sample of the
|
| 61 |
+
JSON you want to query.
|
| 62 |
+
|
| 63 |
+
**The JSON sample is mandatory.** The model was trained to read field names and shapes
|
| 64 |
+
from it — without a sample it will hallucinate fields. A truncated sample is fine as
|
| 65 |
+
long as it shows the structure you are asking about.
|
| 66 |
+
|
| 67 |
+
## Examples
|
| 68 |
+
|
| 69 |
+
All examples below were run against the published Q8_0 GGUF and verified by executing
|
| 70 |
+
the generated filter with real jq. Input JSON:
|
| 71 |
+
|
| 72 |
+
```json
|
| 73 |
+
{"orders": [{"id": 1, "status": "done", "total": 120.5},
|
| 74 |
+
{"id": 2, "status": "pending", "total": 40.0}]}
|
| 75 |
+
```
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
| Request | Generated filter |
|
| 78 |
+
|---|---|
|
| 79 |
+
| get the id of every order | `.orders[] \| .id` |
|
| 80 |
+
| keep only the orders whose status is done | `[.orders[] \| select(.status == "done")]` |
|
| 81 |
+
| some o total de todos os pedidos | `[.orders[].total] \| add` |
|
| 82 |
+
| remova o campo total de cada pedido | `del(.orders[].total)` |
|
| 83 |
+
|
| 84 |
+
The model conditions on the JSON sample, so the same request over a differently shaped
|
| 85 |
+
document correctly yields a different filter.
|
| 86 |
+
|
| 87 |
+
## How it was trained
|
| 88 |
+
|
| 89 |
+
**Reverse generation with ground truth by execution** — the training data was never
|
| 90 |
+
written by an LLM guessing jq:
|
| 91 |
+
|
| 92 |
+
1. A grammar of **108 program families**, anchored in real-world usage (top-voted
|
| 93 |
+
StackOverflow `[jq]` questions, the llm-jq / jiq / gpt-jq corpora, the official jq
|
| 94 |
+
manual), samples candidate programs.
|
| 95 |
+
2. Each program is **executed with real jq 1.8** against families of synthetic JSON
|
| 96 |
+
documents — the output is the ground truth, for free.
|
| 97 |
+
3. Three quality guards filter the pairs: **(G1)** non-degeneracy (exit 0, non-empty,
|
| 98 |
+
non-constant output across distinct documents), **(G2)** coverage anchored in real
|
| 99 |
+
corpora, **(G3)** NL↔program consistency via round-trip with an independent second
|
| 100 |
+
model.
|
| 101 |
+
4. Only then does a teacher LLM write the natural-language request (the cheap, safe
|
| 102 |
+
part). Teachers are locally served open-weights models (Apache 2.0, distillation
|
| 103 |
+
permitted).
|
| 104 |
+
|
| 105 |
+
Result: **27,480 verified pairs**, bilingual EN/PT-BR 50/50, full fine-tune (not LoRA)
|
| 106 |
+
of Qwen3-0.6B-Base.
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
## Evaluation — jq-bench
|
| 109 |
+
|
| 110 |
+
Both metrics are computed **by execution**: the generated filter runs against held-out
|
| 111 |
+
JSON documents and the canonical output (`jq -cS`) is diffed against gold. No
|
| 112 |
+
LLM-as-judge anywhere.
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
The human slice of **jq-bench** is 30 real StackOverflow tasks, hand-curated,
|
| 115 |
+
independent of the training grammar, never seen in training (CC BY-SA 4.0, per-item
|
| 116 |
+
attribution).
|
| 117 |
+
|
| 118 |
+
| Artifact (v13) | human slice, strict | human slice, task-solved¹ | in-distribution (400) |
|
| 119 |
+
|---|---|---|---|
|
| 120 |
+
| f16 | 9/30 | 10/30 | 394/400 |
|
| 121 |
+
| **Q8_0 (recommended)** | **9/30** | **10/30** | **394/400** |
|
| 122 |
+
|
| 123 |
+
¹ *strict* = byte-identical to gold after canonicalization; *task-solved* additionally
|
| 124 |
+
accepts equivalent output shapes (stream vs. array wrapper, etc.).
|
| 125 |
+
|
| 126 |
+
An internal diagnostic of 204 realistic probes (execution-verified, authored
|
| 127 |
+
independently of the training pipeline) measured the last data iteration at **52.5%**
|
| 128 |
+
(up from 31.4%), with transformations under nested fields going from 12.5% to 54%. The
|
| 129 |
+
human slice remains the canonical metric.
|
| 130 |
+
|
| 131 |
+
## Quantization
|
| 132 |
+
|
| 133 |
+
**Q8_0 matches f16 on every metric** and is the recommended build (~640 MB).
|
| 134 |
+
|
| 135 |
+
Q4_K_M was measured and **rejected**: it preserves in-distribution accuracy but breaks
|
| 136 |
+
exactly the hard compositions. Small models do not survive aggressive quantization
|
| 137 |
+
unharmed — we measured instead of assuming, and we don't publish what failed the gate.
|
| 138 |
+
|
| 139 |
+
## Honest limitations
|
| 140 |
+
|
| 141 |
+
- **Long compositions fail** (~2/3 of the human slice): `all(...)`, array subtraction
|
| 142 |
+
(`. - [...]`), `to_entries` with object reconstruction + `tonumber`, compound merges
|
| 143 |
+
with `del`. The model interpolates between neighboring compositions it saw in
|
| 144 |
+
training; requests far from everything it saw come out wrong or hallucinated.
|
| 145 |
+
- Aggregations under nested fields can come out as listings instead of sums.
|
| 146 |
+
- The request must mention fields by their real names in the JSON; the JSON sample in
|
| 147 |
+
the prompt is mandatory.
|
| 148 |
+
- English and Brazilian Portuguese only.
|
| 149 |
+
- It generates **filters**, not shell invocations: no `-r`/`-s`/`--arg` handling.
|
| 150 |
+
|
| 151 |
+
Always review generated filters before running them against data you care about —
|
| 152 |
+
especially destructive ones (`del`, assignments).
