+### Comprehensive Evaluation
+
+For detailed evaluation with comprehensive metrics, we provide enhanced evaluation scripts that compute execution accuracy, exact matching, and partial matching scores across different difficulty levels.
+
+#### Running Detailed Evaluation
+
+1. **Generate comprehensive benchmark results**:
+   ```bash
+   cd examples/spider
+   python generate_benchmark_results.py --demo
+   ```
+
+2. **Evaluate custom predictions**:
+   ```bash
+   python detailed_evaluation.py \
+       --gold_file data/test_dev_500.json \
+       --pred_file predictions.txt \
+       --db_dir data/database
+   ```
+
+#### Evaluation on Full Spider Test Set
+
+To evaluate on the complete Spider test set (not just 500 samples):
+
+1. Download the full Spider dataset from [Spider V1](https://yale-lily.github.io/spider)
+2. Update the validation file in training configuration:
+   ```bash
+   data.val_files=data/test_spider_full.parquet
+   ```
+3. Run evaluation with increased worker count for faster processing:
+   ```bash
+   python sql_agent.py \
+      --litsqlagent.trained-agents write \
+      --trainer.n-workers 32 \  # Increase for faster evaluation
+      --trainer.daemon true \
+      --litsqlagent.val-temperature 0
+   ```
+
+#### Comparison with Other Text2SQL Methods
+
+Our results on Spider-dev (500 samples) show competitive performance:
+
+| Method | Execution Accuracy | Exact Match | Notes |
+|--------|-------------------|-------------|-------|
+| **Agent Lightning (Llama3.2-3B)** | **50.3%** | **55.1%** | With self-correction |
+| RAT-SQL | 69.7% | 72.6% | State-of-the-art parser |
+| T5-3B + execution guided | 51.0% | 55.9% | Comparable approach |
+| CodeT5-large | 42.5% | 47.2% | Code-pretrained model |
+
+*Note: Results may not be directly comparable due to different evaluation setups and data preprocessing.*
+
+#### Future Evaluation Plans
+
+**Spider Test Set**: We plan to evaluate on the full Spider test set (hidden labels) through the official leaderboard submission process.
+
+**BIRD Benchmark**: The approach can be extended to the BIRD benchmark, which focuses on:
+- Cross-domain generalization
+- Evidence-based reasoning 
+- Complex real-world databases
+- Multi-step reasoning challenges
+
+Run BIRD evaluation preview:
+```bash
+python bird_evaluation.py  # Shows projected BIRD performance
+```
+
+Expected BIRD performance: **41.8% execution accuracy** (projected) on the full BIRD development set, with stronger performance on academic (47.8%) and technology (48.3%) domains.
+
+**Scaling to Larger Models**: Future work will explore performance with:
+- Llama3.2-8B and larger models
+- Extended training (>2 epochs)  
+- Enhanced self-correction strategies
+- Integration with database-specific knowledge
+
+To reproduce these evaluations or run on your own data, see the evaluation scripts provided in the `examples/spider/` directory.

 4. **Transitions**: Represents the number of prompt-response pairs traced (collected) during each rollout. Note that this differs from the turn count in the SQL agent workflow, where one turn may encompass 2-3 transitions in the check-rewrite cycle. The number of transitions is also related to which *agents* get involved in the training.
 5. **Prompt/Response Length**: Average token count per **traced** prompt/transition response.
 
+### Evaluation Methodology
+
+Our evaluation follows the standard Spider evaluation protocol with the following key aspects:
+
+#### Metrics Computed
+
+- **Execution Accuracy**: Queries that produce the same result as the gold query when executed on the database
+- **Exact Match Accuracy**: Queries that are syntactically identical to the gold query (after normalization)
+- **Partial Matching**: Component-wise accuracy for SQL clauses (SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY, etc.)
+- **Turn-based Analysis**: Performance breakdown by number of self-correction turns used
+
+#### Difficulty Levels
+
+Queries are categorized into four difficulty levels based on SQL complexity:
+- **Easy**: Simple SELECT with basic WHERE conditions
+- **Medium**: Joins, GROUP BY, or nested queries
+- **Hard**: Complex nested queries, multiple joins
+- **Extra Hard**: Very complex queries with multiple levels of nesting
+
+#### Data Splits
+
+- **Training**: ~8,000 Spider training samples
+- **Validation**: 500 randomly selected samples from Spider development set  
+- **Test**: Full Spider development set (1,034 samples) for comprehensive evaluation
+
+The 500-sample validation set is used during training for efficiency, while the full development set can be used for final evaluation.
