We introduce GECKO, a bilingual large language model (LLM) optimized for Korean and English, along with programming languages. GECKO is pretrained on the balanced, high-quality corpus of Korean and English employing LLaMA architecture. In this report, we share the experiences of several efforts to build a better data pipeline for the corpus and to train our model. GECKO shows great efficiency in token generations for both Korean and English, despite its small size of vocabulary. We measure the performance on the representative benchmarks in terms of Korean, English and Code, and it exhibits great performance on KMMLU (Korean MMLU) and modest performance in English and Code, even with its smaller number of trained tokens compared to English-focused LLMs. GECKO is available to the open-source community under a permissive license. We hope our work offers a research baseline and practical insights for Korean LLM research. The model can be found at: https://huggingface.co/kifai/GECKO-7B

  1. Optimizing Korean-Centric LLMs via Token Pruning

    cs.CL 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Token pruning of non-Korean vocabulary in LLMs improves generation stability and often boosts machine translation on Korean tasks while cutting vocabulary size substantially.
