Re:GeneGPT, a tool-augmented LLM for bioinformatics by dmezzetti on Monday February 12, 2024 @04:34PM (#39350835)
Initially looking at the title, it seemed like this was a biomed LLM which would be really exciting. But after looking at the project, it's a prompt and an OpenAI API call.

Not saying that it's not useful, just not as exciting.

The repo more or less just constructing a prompt to explain the APIs available and how to use them, wrapped up in CLIs. They include some evaluation tasks, which I guess they wanted to be repeatable, but not sure this warrants a paper -- this should be a GPT in the OpenAI marketplace.

meditron is the closest I've found

There's also LLaVA-Med for vision

I was hoping for a Mistral fine tune at the least.

The project was posted on arXiv last April. Back then not a lot of people were doing tool augmentation, let alone domain-specific tools. I guess the whole idea was to prove that LLMs can be augmented by domain tools to do useful staff, which now seems obvious...

I just need someone to make a GPT that will process my raw 23AndMe DNA data and confirm that I'm special
