The laziness rate captures cases where the reference completion is nonempty but the model produces nothing. We also curate examples where the prefix and suffix already form the complete query and the expected response is empty.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETogether, these metrics describe whether the model responds, whether the response is useful and whether it provides enough value to show.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWith these behaviors defined, we next applied the same principles to the data used for post-training.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ETraining only on predictable completions\u003C/h2\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe use the same LLM-assisted reconstruction pipeline to curate post-training data from internal employee editing sessions. Compared with rule-based matching, this process substantially improves coverage when employees edit both sides of the cursor or execute several intermediate queries.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, accurately recovering what the user eventually typed does not guarantee that the model could have predicted it from the context available at the trigger. This distinction led us to make context grounding a central part of training-data curation.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EContext grounding\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EConsider a user who eventually inserts a column absent from the provided schema, perhaps because schema retrieval was incomplete.

Training on them encourages guessing and penalizes the model for failing to produce information it could not have known.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe define a target as \u003Cb\u003Econtext-grounded\u003C/b\u003E when it can be reasonably inferred from the prefix, suffix, schema, prior SQL history and worksheet context.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor each raw reference edit, we identify the longest useful prefix that can be reasonably supported by the available context. If the full edit contains an unpredictable identifier or literal, we retain only the longest useful portion that remains predictable from the available context. If no useful portion is sufficiently grounded, the training target is empty.
