Apertus-SEA-LION-v4-8B-IT

Apertus-SEA-LION-v4-8B-IT adapts Apertus-8B-Instruct-2509 for Southeast Asian text tasks. Its post-training uses about 6.4 million instruction-text pairs. AI Singapore also publishes the post-training datasets and evaluation resources.

How this release works

The training mixture includes tool-calling examples. The card lists Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Tamil, Burmese and Malay as regional languages. The released training and evaluation material makes this a distinct option within the wider set of SEA-LION architectures.Apertus-SEA-LION-v4-8B-IT official model card

How to assess it for your work

Practical guidance. Consider Apertus when you need to inspect the material behind a regional adaptation. Trace an example from the intended task through the prompt, response and evaluation rule. Published resources can support that review, but they do not replace checking the model on the documents and wording your users will supply.
