Llama3 8B CPT SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct
SEA-LION is a collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) which has been pretrained and instruct-tuned for the Southeast Asia (SEA) region.
Llama3 8B CPT SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct is a multilingual model which has been fine-tuned with around 100,000 English instruction-completion pairs alongside a smaller pool of around 50,000 instruction-completion pairs from other ASEAN languages, such as Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese. These instructions have been carefully curated and rewritten to ensure the model was trained on truly open, commercially permissive and high quality datasets.
Llama3 8B CPT SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct has undergone additional supervised fine-tuning and alignment compared to the now deprecated Llama3 8B CPT SEA-Lionv2 Instruct. These improvements have increased the model's capabilities in chat interactions and its ability to follow instructions accurately.
SEA-LION stands for Southeast Asian Languages In One Network.

Model Details
Model Description
We performed instruction tuning in English and also in ASEAN languages such as Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese on our continued pre-trained Llama3 CPT 8B SEA-Lionv2, a decoder model using the Llama3 architecture, to create Llama3 8B SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct.
The model has a context length of 8192.
Benchmark Performance
We evaluated Llama3 8B SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct on both general language capabilities and instruction-following capabilities.
General Language Capabilities
For the evaluation of general language capabilities, we employed the BHASA evaluation benchmark across a variety of tasks. These tasks include Question Answering (QA), Sentiment Analysis (Sentiment), Toxicity Detection (Toxicity), Translation in both directions (Eng>Lang & Lang>Eng), Abstractive Summarization (Summ), Causal Reasoning (Causal) and Natural Language Inference (NLI).
Note: BHASA is implemented following a strict answer format, and only spaces and punctuations are cleaned. For tasks where options are provided, the answer should only include one of the pre-defined options, nothing else. If the model continues to generate more tokens (e.g. to explain its answer), it will be considered to be a wrong response. For the F1 score metric (as used in Sentiment Analysis and Toxicity Detection), all answers that do not fall under the pre-defined labels will be treated as a separate label (to mark it as a wrong answer) and included in the calculations so that the model is penalized for not generating one of the pre-defined labels.
The evaluation was done zero-shot with native prompts and only a sample of 100-1000 instances for each dataset was used as per the setting described in the paper.
Instruction-following Capabilities
Since LLama3 8B SEA-Lionv2.1 is an instruction-following model, we also evaluated it on instruction-following capabilities with two datasets, IFEval and MT-Bench.
As these two datasets were originally in English, the linguists and native speakers in the team worked together to filter, localize and translate the datasets into the respective target languages to ensure that the examples remained reasonable, meaningful and natural.
IFEval
IFEval evaluates a model's ability to adhere to constraints provided in the prompt, for example beginning a response with a specific word/phrase or answering with a certain number of sections. The metric used is accuracy normalized by language (if the model performs the task correctly but responds in the wrong language, it is judged to have failed the task).
MT-Bench
MT-Bench evaluates a model's ability to engage in multi-turn (2 turns) conversations and respond in ways that align with human needs. We use gpt-4-1106-preview
as the judge model and compare against gpt-3.5-turbo-0125
as the baseline model. The metric used is the weighted win rate against the baseline model (i.e. average win rate across each category (Math, Reasoning, STEM, Humanities, Roleplay, Writing, Extraction)). A tie is given a score of 0.5.

Usage
SEA-LION can be run using the π€ Transformers library
# Please use transformers==4.43.2
import transformers
import torch
model_id = "aisingapore/llama3-8b-cpt-SEA-Lionv2.1-instruct"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},

Caveats
It is important for users to be aware that our model exhibits certain limitations that warrant consideration. Like many LLMs, the model can hallucinate and occasionally generates irrelevant content, introducing fictional elements that are not grounded in the provided context. Users should also exercise caution in interpreting and validating the model's responses due to the potential inconsistencies in its reasoning.
Limitations
Safety
Current SEA-LION models, including this commercially permissive release, have not been aligned for safety. Developers and users should perform their own safety fine-tuning and related security measures. In no event shall the authors be held liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from the use of the released weights and codes.
Technical Specifications
Fine-Tuning Details
The Llama3 8B CPT SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct was fine-tuned using 8x A100-40GB using parameter efficient fine tuning in the form of LoRA.
Data
Llama3 8B CPT SEA-Lionv2.1 Instruct was trained on a wide range of instructions that were manually and stringently verified by our team. A large portion of the effort was dedicated to ensuring that each instruction-completion pair that the model sees is of high quality and any errors were corrected and rewritten by native speakers or else dropped from our mix.
In addition, special care was taken to ensure that the datasets used had commercially permissive licenses through verification with the original data source.
