Description

Hello,

I was wondering if it is straightforward to bring older models such as GPT-2 to lit-gpt.
If so, what files/configs do I need to change?

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by identifying the model configuration and implementation entry points used by lit-gpt for currently supported models. Compare those requirements with GPT-2 and determine which files or configs would need changes. Done means documenting a concrete support path or confirming the necessary implementation scope; the issue names no tests or files.
