The paper ‘VBART: The Turkish LLM’ unveils the first Turkish LLM, VBART. This model is based on BART and mBART but offers a compact design with significant improvements in various NLP tasks (read more).

• VBART comes in two sizes: Large and XLarge.
• Outperforms prior results in summarization, question answering, and more.
• Improved performance over multilingual models for the Turkish language.
• Fine-tuned models are available at huggingface.co for further research.

VBART is a landmark in the realm of Turkish NLP. Its specialization for the language could lead to more accurate and efficient Turkish AI applications, potentially encouraging similar developments for other underrepresented languages.
