Alibaba open-sources AI model that can detect cancer and nearly 150 conditions
scmp.comI much prefer Gemini. It tells me I'm very smart and almost always right.
I much prefer load-bearing discussions myself.
For me it's not just the load-bearing, it's the accuracy.
I'm wonder when there will be model for predict future. Could be named "Crystal bAill"
> model [to] predict future
The attempt is already there: "predicting the future" is called "intelligence".
Isn't detecting cancer predicting a possible future? Hopefully one you can change.

Anyone know how many parameters?
Approx ~131 million total. Made up of estimated:
102M - modified BERT-base-Chinese text encoder
26M - 3D U-Net-style vision/anatomy encoder
2.8M - projection layers, anatomy-specific projections, query tokens and attention layer
Written to run on something like an H100 though- as the CT Scan data is quite large.
The model weights are only ~5GB, so this is small.
