SEA-LION v2
Singapore's open LLM family tuned for Southeast Asian languages and culture.
About
SEA-LION v2 is AI Singapore's second-generation open language model for Southeast Asia, released in August 2024. Unlike the original SEA-LION, which was trained from scratch, v2 continues pre-training from Meta's Llama 3 with 50B tokens of Southeast Asian language data.
It was trained on 64 H100 GPUs and retains Llama 3's general capabilities while improving on regional-language tasks. The project sits under Singapore's National Multimodal LLM Programme, and the family has since grown local adaptations such as Indonesian Sahabat-AI and Thai WangchanLION variants.
