💊 A Preliminary Study of o1 in Medicine

The research paper focuses on the performance of a new large language model (LLM) called o1 in the medical domain. o1 was trained with an internalized chain-of-thought technique using reinforcement learning strategies, which enhances its reasoning abilities. The paper evaluates o1 across three key aspects: understanding, reasoning, and multilinguality, using a diverse range of medical datasets. The researchers found that o1 demonstrates improved understanding and reasoning abilities compared to other LLMs, including GPT-4, and surpasses its predecessor in accuracy across a variety of tasks. However, o1 still struggles with hallucination, inconsistent multilingual ability, and biased evaluation metrics, which highlights the need for further research in these areas.
