# SEA-LION v3

SEA-LION version 3, released in Dec 2024, is a collection of 3 models (and their variants), each with their unique strengths:

* [Gemma-SEA-LION-v3-9B](/models/sea-lion-v3/gemma-sea-lion-v3-9b.md), based on Gemma2, is our best performing SEA-LION v3 model on SEA-HELM benchmarks for similar sized models
* [Llama-SEA-LION-v3-8B](/models/sea-lion-v3/llama-sea-lion-v3-8b.md), based on Llama 3.1 8B, now provides a larger context length of 128K
* [Llama-SEA-LION-v3-70B](/models/sea-lion-v3/llama-sea-lion-v3-70b.md), based on Llama 3.1 70B, is our largest model to date, also providing a 128K context length

With enhanced natural language reasoning (NLR) abilities and superior instruction-following in SEA languages, SEA-LION v3 sets new standards in multilingual AI for the region.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sea-lion.ai/models/sea-lion-v3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
