Abstract

This paper presents TUDUM (Türkçe Düşünen Üretken Model), a project pipeline for adapting a Qwen-family 27B thinking model toward Turkish reasoning. The central problem is not only to answer Turkish prompts in Turkish, but to make the explicit reasoning trace itself Turkish. A thinking model may translate a Turkish prompt into an English-centered internal or visible scratchpad, solve the problem mostly in English, and only localize the final answer. TUDUM instead treats the generated <think>...</think> block as a trainable behavior. The pipeline starts from the project base checkpoint unsloth/Qwen3.5-27B, applies supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on 15,991 Turkish reasoning examples using LoRA adapters, and then applies GRPO-family reinforcement learning on a proxy-filtered Turkish mathematics environment. The results are mixed. SFT made the model shorter and more consistently Turkish in its reasoning behavior, with large reductions in average response length and thinking exhaustion, but reduced benchmark accuracy. RL recovered some mathematical performance, especially AIME24 at the best early checkpoint, yet did not uniformly improve all benchmarks and did not exceed the base model on the reported Macro-6 average. The contribution is therefore best framed as a technically honest Turkish-thinking reasoning pipeline and evaluation, not as a claim of state-of-the-art Turkish reasoning. The released step-50 model is publicly available.

Abstract-only analysis — low confidence

All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

  • This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
