Sea launches Singapore AI centre, targets 100 roles

The centre backs in-house models and Singapore hiring.

Sea has established an artificial intelligence Centre of Excellence in Singapore and expects it to create demand for at least 100 research and innovation roles over the next three years.

The New York-listed technology company said the centre was set up with support from Digital Industry Singapore and would deepen its push to become an AI-native company.

Sea said the centre will focus on foundational AI, scalable deployment of research into production systems, and the development of AI-native talent and operating models. The roles are expected to span AI research, engineering, and product development.

The company said the initiative will also expand the use of its in-house AI models, including Compass Max v3.5, a 245 billion-parameter large language model tailored for Southeast Asian languages and e-commerce use cases.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
