Introducing OpenBioLLM-70B: A State-of-the-Art Open Source Biomedical Large Language Model

OpenBioLLM-70B is an advanced open source language model designed specifically for the biomedical domain. Developed by Saama AI Labs, this model leverages cutting-edge techniques to achieve state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of biomedical tasks.

🏥 Biomedical Specialization: OpenBioLLM-70B is tailored for the unique language and knowledge requirements of the medical and life sciences fields. It was fine-tuned on a vast corpus of high-quality biomedical data, enabling it to understand and generate text with domain-specific accuracy and fluency.

🎓 Superior Performance: With 70 billion parameters, OpenBioLLM-70B outperforms other open source biomedical language models of similar scale. It has also demonstrated better results compared to larger proprietary & open-source models like GPT-4, Gemini, Meditron-70B, Med-PaLM-1 & Med-PaLM-2 on biomedical benchmarks.

🧠 Advanced Training Techniques: OpenBioLLM-70B builds upon the powerful foundations of the Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct and Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct models. It incorporates the DPO dataset and fine-tuning recipe along with a custom diverse medical instruction dataset. Key components of the training pipeline include:

• Policy Optimization: Direct Preference Optimization: Your Language Model is Secretly a Reward Model (DPO)
• Fine-tuning dataset: Custom Medical Instruct dataset (We plan to release a sample training dataset in our upcoming paper; please stay updated)

This combination of cutting-edge techniques enables OpenBioLLM-70B to align with key capabilities and preferences for biomedical applications.

]

prompt = pipeline.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
        messages, 
        tokenize=False, 
        add_generation_prompt=True
)

Benchmark Results

🔥 OpenBioLLM-70B demonstrates superior performance compared to larger models, such as GPT-4, Gemini, Meditron-70B, Med-PaLM-1 & Med-PaLM-2 across 9 diverse biomedical datasets, achieving state-of-the-art results with an average score of 86.06%, despite having a significantly smaller parameter count. The model's strong performance in domain-specific tasks, such as Clinical KG, Medical Genetics, and PubMedQA, highlights its ability to effectively capture and apply biomedical knowledge.

🚨 The GPT-4, Med-PaLM-1, and Med-PaLM-2 results are taken from their official papers. Since Med-PaLM doesn't provide zero-shot accuracy, we are using 5-shot accuracy from their paper for comparison. All results presented are in the zero-shot setting, except for Med-PaLM-2 and Med-PaLM-1, which use 5-shot accuracy.

Advisory Notice! 

While OpenBioLLM-70B leverages high-quality data sources, its outputs may still contain inaccuracies, biases, or misalignments that could pose risks if relied upon for medical decision-making without further testing and refinement. The model's performance has not yet been rigorously evaluated in randomized controlled trials or real-world healthcare environments.

Therefore, we strongly advise against using OpenBioLLM-70B for any direct patient care, clinical decision support, or other professional medical purposes at this time. Its use should be limited to research, development, and exploratory applications by qualified individuals who understand its limitations. OpenBioLLM-70B is intended solely as a research tool to assist healthcare professionals and should never be considered a replacement for the professional judgment and expertise of a qualified medical doctor.

Appropriately adapting and validating OpenBioLLM-70B for specific medical use cases would require significant additional work, potentially including:

• Thorough testing and evaluation in relevant clinical scenarios
• Alignment with evidence-based guidelines and best practices
• Mitigation of potential biases and failure modes
• Integration with human oversight and interpretation
• Compliance with regulatory and ethical standards

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for personal medical needs.
