Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R

SEA-LION is a collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) which have been pretrained and instruct-tuned for the Southeast Asia (SEA) region.

SEA-LION stands for _Southeast Asian Languages In One Network_.

• Developed by: Products Pillar, AI Singapore
• Funded by: Singapore NRF
• Model type: Decoder
• Languages supported: Burmese, Chinese, English, Filipino, Indonesia, Javanese, Khmer, Lao, Malay, Sundanese, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese
• License: Llama 3.1 Community License

Description

This repo contains GGUF format model files for aisingapore/Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R.

Model Weights Included in this repository:

• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-F16
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q2_K
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q3_K_M
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q4_0
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q4_K_M
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q5_0
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q5_K_M
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q6_K
• Llama-SEA-LION-v3.5-8B-R-Q8_0

> [!NOTE]

> Take note that some GGUFs are split into parts. Most tools such as llama.cpp and those built on it do support split GGUFs, pointing the platform to the first split will be sufficient for it to function.

> In the event where a merge is necessary, it can be done using llama.cpp's gguf-split: ./gguf-split --merge ./path/to/first-split ./path/to/output-gguf

> More details: gguf-split guide & README

Lineage & Versioning

This model card serves as an immutable record of the final released checkpoint. Consequently, the hardware specifications, compute hours, and precise dataset volumes (such as final filtered instruction counts) reported here reflect the exact production run used to generate this specific artifact. These figures may differ from the aggregate totals, pre-filtered data pools, or preliminary experimental runs (e.g., initial H100 benchmarks) documented in our accompanying research papers.

The training counts and dataset mixture details reported in this model card reflect the exact constructed training pool consumed during this specific model run. Figures may differ slightly from public dataset releases, which represent downloadable open-source subsets of the broader corpus.

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.

Call for Contributions

We encourage researchers, developers, and language enthusiasts to actively contribute to the enhancement and expansion of SEA-LION. Contributions can involve identifying and reporting bugs, sharing pre-training, instruction, and preference data, improving documentation usability, proposing and implementing new model evaluation tasks and metrics, or training versions of the model in additional Southeast Asian languages. Join us in shaping the future of SEA-LION by sharing your expertise and insights to make these models more accessible, accurate, and versatile. Please check out our GitHub for further information on the call for contributions.
