DualSQL is a Text-to-SQL system that uses two agents sharing a single model backbone, enabling joint optimization via multi-agent reinforcement learning. The approach incorporates three database access tools for multi-step reasoning, rollout guardrails to stabilize training, and a new SQL correctness metric called robust execution match (REX). Trained on only 3,755 examples, DualSQL-4B reaches 68.0% execution accuracy on the BIRD dev set, while DualSQL-8B achieves 71.1%, surpassing prior state‑of‑the‑art single‑model solutions with 32B parameters.
The paper investigates how agent harnesses—specifically planning guidance, execution organization, and completion verification—affect performance in retail and airline pilot tasks. By comparing fixed, task‑specific plans to shuffled policy text of equal length, the study finds that fixed plans improve success rates by about 7 percentage points, especially on complex tasks. A read‑only verifier rejects a majority of invalid episodes while incurring minimal cost, and its impact varies with the penalty for erroneous acceptance, often matching the full planning‑plus‑verification benefit at a lower cost.
