# SEA-LION-7B-Instruct-C

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 Instruct (Commercial) model.

For more details on the base model, please refer to the [base model's model card](https://huggingface.co/aisingapore/sealion7b).

SEA-LION stands for <i>Southeast Asian Languages In One Network</i>.


## 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 pre-training data for the base SEA-LION model encompasses 980B tokens.
The model was then further instruction-tuned on a mixture of <b>commercially-permissive English and Indonesian data</b>.

- **Developed by:** Products Pillar, AI Singapore
- **Funded by:** Singapore NRF
- **Model type:** Decoder
- **Languages:** English, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Tamil, Burmese, Khmer, Lao
- **License:** MIT License

### Benchmark Performance

Coming soon.

### Usage and limitations
SEA-LION can be run using the 🤗 Transformers library 
```python
# Please use transformers==4.37.2

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("aisingapore/sealion7b-instruct-c", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("aisingapore/sealion7b-instruct-c", trust_remote_code=True)

prompt_template = "### USER:\n{human_prompt}\n\n### RESPONSE:\n"
prompt = """Apa sentimen dari kalimat berikut ini?
Kalimat: Buku ini sangat membosankan.
Jawaban: """
full_prompt = prompt_template.format(human_prompt=prompt)

tokens = tokenizer(full_prompt, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(tokens["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=20, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

```
