Quail: open-source AI-SQL engine hits 1B+ input tokens/min on one H100
sh_reya · x · 2026-09-25
- Quail, a new open-source AI-SQL engine built with Modal, co-plans queries and LLM inference to reach 1B+ input tokens/min on a single H100 for one query.
- It treats AI operators as first-class SQL citizens, mixing semantic IFs with conventional SQL, and pairs deterministic planning with interference-based execution.
- The team argues AI-powered data operators create a fundamentally new inference workload, showcasing LLM classification at data-engineering scale.
