SEA-HELM (Malay): leaderboard
AI Singapore’s SEA-HELM restricted to Malay: the mean over its natural-language understanding, generation, reasoning, instruction-following and cultural tasks in that language. SEA-HELM exists because Southeast Asian languages are where English-first models lose the most, and the per-language boards are where that shows.
Metric: Normalized Score. Source: leaderboard.sea-lion.ai. Saturation forecast: Around January 2027. 58 models tracked.
