Meta’s new large language model excels at board-style radiology prompts
Health Imaging August 13, 2024
Meta Llama 3—an open-source large language model—may soon be giving other LLMs a run for their money in the medical field, according to new data published in the journal Radiology.
The LLM recently performed on par with larger proprietary models, like GPT-4, on a set of board style radiology questions. Though proprietary models have shown great promise within radiology, they require data be sent outside of hospital settings, which raises privacy concerns. That, combined with their sometimes inconsistent performance after updates, limits users’ trust in the models’ reliability.
Meta’s performance highlights the potential for open-source models in addressing some of these limitations, authors of the new paper suggest.
“The development of open-source LLMs offers a solution that...
