Libraries

How to use BrainHealthAI/BrainMed-8B-SFT with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="BrainHealthAI/BrainMed-8B-SFT")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("BrainHealthAI/BrainMed-8B-SFT")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("BrainHealthAI/BrainMed-8B-SFT", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

	# BrainMed-8B-SFT

	Full-parameter supervised fine-tune of `FreedomIntelligence/HuatuoGPT-o1-8B` on
	[`Williamsanderson/MedReason-MedO1-Reasoning-46K`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Williamsanderson/MedReason-MedO1-Reasoning-46K), a union of
	KG-grounded MedReason reasoning traces and verifier-checked medical-o1 traces.

	- Parameters: 8,030,261,248 (8.03B) - full weights, not an adapter
	- Precision: BF16
	- Recipe: MedReason (arXiv:2504.00993) - lr 5e-6, effective batch 128, 3 epochs,
	cosine schedule with 5% warmup, weight decay 0.1, DeepSpeed ZeRO-3, bf16
	- Weights obtained by: lowest held-out validation loss (val loss 0.7557 at optimizer step 1041)

	## Output format

	The model is trained to reason inside `<think>...</think>` and answer inside
	`<answer>...</answer>`, under this system prompt:

	```
	You are a medical reasoning assistant. Work through the clinical problem step by step inside <think>...</think>, grounding every step in established medical knowledge, then give the final, complete answer inside <answer>...</answer>.
	```

	## Evaluation

	\| Benchmark \| n \| Accuracy \|
	\|---\|---\|---\|
	\| medbullets_op4 \| 308 \| 58.77 \|
	\| medbullets_op5 \| 308 \| 56.82 \|
	\| medmcqa_val \| 4183 \| 61.2 \|
	\| medqa_4opt \| 1273 \| 72.11 \|
	\| medxpertqa \| 1449 \| 18.08 \|
	\| pubmedqa_test \| 1000 \| 77.1 \|



	Scored with the MedReason evaluation harness (greedy decoding, strict answer prompt,
	`max(head, tail)` extraction) on the benchmark files shipped by the MedReason and
	HuatuoGPT-o1 repositories - no benchmark was rebuilt or resampled.

	## Data integrity

	Training rows: 44,351.

	Rows overlapping the evaluation benchmarks were kept, matching the upstream setting under which the published comparison tables were produced. The overlap was measured and is declared below rather than removed; the evaluation therefore reports a clean-subset score alongside the raw one, and the clean figure is the unbiased estimate.

	\| Benchmark \| items \| overlapping training rows \|
	\|---\|---\|---\|
	\| hle_med \| 103 \| 30 (29.13%) \|
	\| medbullets_op4 \| 308 \| 35 (11.36%) \|
	\| medbullets_op5 \| 308 \| 35 (11.36%) \|
	\| medqa_4opt \| 1273 \| 1 (0.08%) \|
	\| medqa_5opt \| 1273 \| 1 (0.08%) \|
	\| medxpertqa \| 1449 \| 15 (1.04%) \|
	\| mmlu_pro_medical \| 1535 \| 340 (22.15%) \|

	This overlap originates upstream: the MedReason corpus derives reasoning traces from MMLU-medical, MedXpertQA and Humanity's Last Exam, three sets it also evaluates on.

	Answer-format alignment was applied to 17,083 rows (38.52%): a canonical `The answer is X.` was appended where the letter was unambiguously recoverable from options already present in the question. Questions and reasoning traces are byte-identical to the source.


	## Intended use

	Research and decision support. Not a medical device; not for autonomous clinical use.
