In a breakthrough for the healthcare industry, researchers have unveiled Meditron, a suite of open-source large language models (LLMs), specifically designed to assist medical professionals.
Jointly developed by researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Yale School of Medicine, and supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the LLM is built upon the Meta Llama2 platform and trained on “carefully curated, high-quality medical data sources,” Meta said in a blog post.
