The model weights are only ~5GB, so this is small.

6m agoHN ↗

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.

EPS3.9 also had significant anti-tumor effects in the mice with liver cancer and activated anti-tumor immune responses

I much prefer Gemini. It tells me I'm very smart and almost always right.

I'm wonder when there will be model for predict future. Could be named "Crystal bAill"

Isn't detecting cancer predicting a possible future? Hopefully one you can change.

model [to] predict future

The attempt is already there: "predicting the future" is called "intelligence".
