# Model Card for Gemma-SEA-LION-v4-27B
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
Last updated: 2025-08-25
Gemma-SEA-LION-v4-27B is based on Gemma 3 (which supports over 100 languages)
and is a multilingual model which has undergone continued pre-training on approximately **500B** tokens
sampled from a bucket of over one trillion tokens across 11 SEA languages: Burmese, English,
Indonesian, Khmer, Lao, Malay, Mandarin, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai and Vietnamese.
Gemma-SEA-LION-v4-27B inherits Gemma 3's:
- Large 128K context length
- Image and text understanding capabilities, including document comprehension, visual Q&A, and image-grounded reasoning
- Advanced function calling and structured outputs to allow for seamless integration into larger systems
## Model Details
### Model Description
<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->
SEA-LION stands for *Southeast Asian Languages In One Network*.
We performed continued pre-training in English and SEA languages on Gemma 3 27B IT,
a decoder model using the Gemma 3 architecture, to create *Gemma-SEA-LION-v4-27B*.
For tokenization, the model employs the default tokenizer used in Gemma 3 27B IT.
- **Developed by:** AI Products Pillar, AI Singapore
- **Funded by:** Singapore NRF
- **Shared by:** AI Products Pillar, AI Singapore
- **Model type:** Decoder
- **Context length:** 128k
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Burmese, English, Indonesian, Khmer, Lao, Malay, Mandarin, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai and Vietnamese
- **License:** [Gemma Terms of Use](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms)
- **Continued pretrained from model:** [Gemma-3-27B-IT](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-27b-it)
### Model Sources
<!-- Provide the basic links for the model. -->
- **Repository:** https://github.com/aisingapore/sealion.git
## Uses
<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
### Out-of-Scope Use
<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->
The model has 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 claims, damages, or other liabilities arising from the use of the released weights and codes.
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->
*The model was not tested for robustness against adversarial prompting.* 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.
**Limitations**
In terms of vision capability, Gemma-SEA-LION-v4-27B has been continued pretrained exclusively on the text back-end.
As a result, its vision capabilities are expected to be comparable to those of Gemma 3 IT 27B,
and may not exhibit significant improvements or differences in this area. [🤗 google/gemma-3-27b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-27b-it )
## How to Get Started with the Model
Use the code below to get started with the model.
Use the code below to get started with the model using the 🤗 Transformers library.
```python
from transformers import pipeline
import torch
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model="aisingapore/Gemma-SEA-LION-v4-27B",
device="cuda",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
messages = [
{
"role": "system",
"content": [{"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}]
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "Write a poem on southeast asian countries in Indonesian."}
]
}
]
output = pipe(text=messages, max_new_tokens=200)
print(output[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
```
## Training Details
### Training Data
<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->
The dataset comprises Burmese, English, Indonesian, Khmer, Lao, Malay, Mandarin, Tagalog,
Tamil, Thai and Vietnamese languages, collected from a mixture of sources including web data, code, open-source datasets,
and synthetically generated datasets, amounting to a total of 500 billion tokens.
The 500 billion tokens are sampled from a much larger pool of 1 trillion tokens from open-sourced datasets with the optimal datamix shown below determined by our experiments.
