I would like to cite this model
Hi @estrella-vp ,
no problem, I've just created one:
@misc {bayerische_staatsbibliothek_2025,
author = { Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and Stefan Schweter },
title = { german-gpt2 (Revision ab6efd0) },
year = 2025,
url = { https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/german-gpt2 },
doi = { 10.57967/hf/5768 },
publisher = { Hugging Face }
}
Feel also free to try my other GPT2 model that I've pretrained on more data: https://huggingface.co/stefan-it/german-gpt2-larger
