SEA-LION
SEA-LION is a collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) which has been pretrained and instruct-tuned for the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. The size of the models range from 3 billion to 7 billion parameters. This is the card for the SEA-LION 7B base model.
SEA-LION stands for Southeast Asian Languages In One Network.
Model Details
Model Description
The SEA-LION model is a significant leap forward in the field of Natural Language Processing, specifically trained to understand the SEA regional context.
SEA-LION is built on the robust MPT architecture and has a vocabulary size of 256K.
For tokenization, the model employs our custom SEABPETokenizer, which is specially tailored for SEA languages, ensuring optimal model performance.
The training data for SEA-LION encompasses 980B tokens.
