GPT-2 Turkish

A cased GPT-2 pretrained on Turkish text and published on Hugging Face as a starting point for anyone who needs a Turkish base model to fine-tune rather than train from scratch.

Turkish is agglutinative and morphologically rich, which makes tokenisation and pretraining choices matter more than they do for English. The model has been downloaded steadily since 2022 and remains one of the more used open Turkish GPT-2 checkpoints.
