January 17, 2024- Mayo Clinic, the world’s No. 1 hospital and a global leader in advancing trusted generative artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare applications, has announced a multi-year strategic collaboration with Cerebras Systems to develop multimodal large language models (LLMs) to improve patient outcomes and diagnoses.
The collaboration combines Mayo Clinic’s expansive repository of decades of deidentified clinical data with generative AI capabilities developed by Cerebras to train models to complement physicians’ expertise.
The LLMs will help clinicians review lengthy medical records and the multiple forms of data that are used in the diagnosis and care of patients. The collaboration will develop models trained on genomic data of more than 100,000 patients who have entrusted Mayo Clinic scientists for the benefit of research. High-powered computing of genetic data could help predict how specific patients will respond to treatments based on their genetic makeup and identify the right treatments faster.
