Türkiye Achieves AI Sovereignty Milestone: Mecellem Platform Secures Major EuroHPC Recognition with 1.55 Million GPU Hours

• Our Mecellem platform has secured 1.55 million GPU hours on Europe’s MareNostrum 5 supercomputer through the highly competitive EuroHPC AI Factory Large Scale Call to develop advanced Turkish-specific AI models across law, finance, and public administration.

• Designed from the ground up for the Turkish language and culture, Mecellem addresses critical gaps in international AI systems by delivering unparalleled accuracy and domain-specific capabilities.

• Committed to democratizing AI access, we are creating an open, no-code platform that empowers Türkiye’s public and private sectors while advancing national digital sovereignty.

Unprecedented Scale and Strategic Importance

The EuroHPC AI Factory Large Scale Call is Europe’s most selective program for AI innovation, awarding resources to projects with outstanding technical merit and strategic value. With 1.55 million GPU hours on MareNostrum 5—the cutting-edge supercomputer housed at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center—Mecellem gains the computational foundation necessary to rival global AI leaders.

This resource enables us to train massive multi-billion parameter models, generate synthetic data, and refine AI solutions that meet the highest standards of accuracy, compliance, and usability.

Revolutionary Technical Innovations

Mecellem incorporates breakthrough technologies designed to overcome challenges unique to Turkish AI development:

• True Turkish Language Mastery: Engineered from the ground up to understand Turkish’s complex morphology and agglutinative syntax, enabling superior accuracy in domain-specific AI applications across law, finance, and public administration.

• LLM-as-a-Judge Architecture: Our innovative synthetic data pipeline uses multiple AI models to generate, critique, and refine high-quality Turkish text—addressing the scarcity of Turkish training data while ensuring full GDPR and KVKK compliance.

• No-Code AI Democratization: The platform’s intuitive “Model Page” lets users with no programming experience train, fine-tune, and deploy over 200 pre-trained models, making advanced AI accessible to SMEs, legal professionals, and entrepreneurs.

• Automated Knowledge Graph Construction: Mecellem transforms unstructured documents into semantic knowledge networks, allowing users to visualize relationships and extract strategic insights.

National Impact Across Key Sectors

Mecellem supports Türkiye's 12th Development Plan and National AI Strategy, driving digital sovereignty and economic transformation:

• Legal Sector: AI-powered contract analysis, compliance automation, and intelligent legal research tailored to Turkish law.

• Financial Services: Automated risk assessment, regulatory monitoring, and customer service enhancements designed for Turkish financial markets.

• Public Administration: Policy analysis, citizen service automation, and inter-agency coordination to modernize government operations.

Commitment to National AI Sovereignty

By developing indigenous AI technologies, Mecellem reduces reliance on foreign AI providers, ensuring Türkiye maintains control over its AI future. This project also fosters exportable expertise and positions Türkiye as a global leader in language-specific AI development.

Development Timeline and Availability

We expect to release the first Mecellem models for deployment by early 2026, with full platform capabilities rolling out throughout the year. Access will be available via a tiered deployment model that supports broad adoption while maintaining security and compliance.
