8b parameter model (EVLF-FM) surpasses clinicians in multimodal understanding
Summary
A Nature paper introduces EVLF-FM, an 8B-parameter clinical multimodal vision-language foundation model with fine-grain explainability that outperforms clinicians in radiology, dermatology and other medical tasks, showing frontier-level medical intelligence can run without data-center scale compute.
