Open Source
SEA-LION, AI Verify and community open source — the models and tools Singapore ships to the world in the open.
Open source is a quiet but pivotal choice in Singapore’s AI strategy. The flagship is SEA-LION, led by AI Singapore — a family of open large language models for Southeast Asian languages, built to fix mainstream models’ thin coverage of the region’s languages and contexts; government bodies and research teams also release tools, datasets and research code openly. For a small state, open source is both a way to reduce dependence on any single vendor and a lever to amplify regional influence.
This hub gathers the parliamentary and policy debates touching open-source AI, the official and industry-academia open projects, and the ecosystem tracking — from home-grown models like SEA-LION and open datasets to the role of open source in talent-building and regional cooperation — so you can see how Singapore trades openness for autonomy and reach.
