tl;dr: Buster gives developers everything they need to train LLMs to write accurate SQL queries for their database. Out of the box Buster handles fine-tuning, access controls, performance evaluations, deployments, and more. Watch a demo video here.


Hey, this is Blake and Dallin from Buster.

Buster is a developer tool for training Large Language Models (LLMs) to write production-ready SQL queries for your database. Buster provides the workspace for fine-tuning, model evaluations, managing access controls, and more.

problem
  • Getting an LLM to understand the nuances of your schema is a nightmare
  • Pushing LLMs to production is a nightmare
  • Monitoring LLMs in production is a nightmare
solution
  • Train an LLM to understand database nuances
    • Buster auto-generates documentation for your entire database
    • Buster utilizes a training pipeline to build out domain knowledge around your database
    • Buster fine-tunes an LLM, specific to your database, to recognize query patterns and understand nuances
  • Push LLMs to production
    • Buster hosts models for you
    • Buster includes a UI for the LLM that can be embedded anywhere as an iFrame (users can build dashboards/reports/etc using natural language)
  • Monitor and improve performance
    • Buster provides a monitoring space for engineers to track performance, usage, conversations, sql generation, user feedback, etc
    • Buster provides tooling to debug and quickly fix performance gaps
how it works
  1. Auto-generate documentation for your schema

  2. Train your model

  3. Embed “chat with your data” capabilities into your product
