MBZUAI researchers introduce BiMediX, a bilingual (English and Arabic) mixture of experts LLM for medical applications. The model is trained on BiMed1.3M, a new 1.3 million bilingual instruction dataset and outperforms existing models like Med42 and Jais-30B on medical benchmarks. Code and models are available on Github.
MBZUAI releases BiMediX2, a bilingual (Arabic-English) Bio-Medical Large Multimodal Model, along with the BiMed-V dataset (1.6M samples) and BiMed-MBench evaluation benchmark. BiMediX2 supports multi-turn conversation in Arabic and English and handles diverse medical imaging modalities. The model achieves state-of-the-art results on medical LLM and LMM benchmarks, outperforming existing methods and GPT-4 in specific evaluations.
