About The Team
Compass is Shopee's globally competitive, ultra-large-scale multilingual foundation model, built with advanced cross-cultural understanding, complex reasoning, and agentic execution capabilities. Leveraging the rich multilingual and multicultural data advantages of global emerging markets — particularly Southeast Asia — the Compass model family has successfully evolved from v1 through v3. We are now pushing the frontiers of foundation model research to build the next-generation base model with more advanced architectures and superior capabilities, establishing a world-leading technology system for multilingual intelligence and Agentic LLM. Through deep research into algorithms and data strategies, we aim to develop principled scaling laws to guide model planning, break through training and inference efficiency bottlenecks, and forge a deterministic path from data governance to emergent intelligence.
