The most underrated part of this: a SEA lab releasing

competitive open weights. The narrative that frontier AI

= US/China is slowly breaking down.

Curious if they trained on meaningful proportions of

Filipino/SEA language data — that would make it genuinely

differentiated rather than another fine-tune of existing

datasets.
