Implementation of GPT-2 in pure CMake

The brief

A developer implemented GPT-2 entirely in pure CMake, the C++ build system language, as an exercise in understanding both systems at a low level.

Key points

  1. The project generates text using only CMake primitives with no external runtime dependencies.
  2. It is a technical curiosity demonstrating CMake's computational completeness rather than a practical inference tool.
