Southeast Asian Languages in One Network (SEA-LION) is a family of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) built to better understand Southeast Asia’s (SEA) diverse contexts, languages, and cultures. This project is anchored by the Products Pillar of AI Singapore and is part of Singapore’s National Multi-Modal LLM Project (NMLP). Our work on SEA-LION aims to create LLMs that cater to under-represented population groups and low-resource languages in the SEA region.

Southeast Asia presents a unique landscape for LLMs, rich with linguistic diversity but also facing challenges in data availability and computational resources. This panel will explore the critical issues surrounding scaling LLMs for SEA languages, from overcoming technical hurdles to unlocking valuable applications across various industries. Join leading experts as they discuss the opportunities, navigate the limitations, and showcase real-world use cases that demonstrate the transformative potential of SEA language LLMs.
