Last month we have released a new family of multilingual language models called **Sailor**, ranging from 0.5B to 7B parameters, continually pre-trained from the Qwen1.5 models. Based on our extensive benchmarking, the Sailor models demonstrate exceptional performance on South-East Asian languages, taking us one step closer to multilingual LLMs that can serve the diverse needs of the region and beyond.

🌟 Recipe in Continual Pre-training: We discover a powerful metric that can help predict how well the Sailor models will perform on the original domain (e.g., English) after continual pre-training.
