The crafting of BioMedLM, explored in ‘BioMedLM: A 2.7B Parameter Language Model Trained On Biomedical Text’ by Bolton et al., is a GPT-style model with 2.7 billion parameters trained exclusively on texts from PubMed. The smaller, targeted model demonstrates competitive performance in biomedical NLP tasks and could potentially replace larger models like GPT-4 and Med-PaLM 2.

• BioMedLM: A focused alternative to hyperparameter-heavy models.
• Training solely on PubMed abstracts and articles.
• Exhibits competitive results post fine-tuning on biomedical exams.
• Aims for economy and privacy in the biomedical NLP applications.
• BioMedLM on Hugging Face Hub.
