EpistemeAI/Reasoning-Medical0.1-E4B-sft

Introduction

This EpistemeAI/Reasoning-Medical0.1-E4B-sft is designed for advanced medical reasoning in professional medicine, medical genetics, college biology/medicine, and clinical knowledge. It was traing using superised fine tuning techniques(sft). The model was fine-tuned on a large-scale dataset of 100,000 records, specifically curated by blending various public medical reasoning datasets, incorporating Chain-of-Thought reasoning to improve step-by-step medical related questions. Training was performed using the GRPO trainer with the Unsloth optimization method for efficient fine-tuning. The dataset is a custom mixture of medical reasoning datasets from Hugging Face, designed for SFT-style chat training. The primary goal is to provide a comprehensive and diverse dataset for training language models in medical question-answering and reasoning tasks.

Safety Notice: This model is for benign medical and scientific reasoning only. It must not be used for biological or chemical weapon development, pathogen enhancement, toxin production, hazardous synthesis, or any activity that enables harm. All biomedical, biological, chemical, or laboratory-related outputs require expert review and must comply with applicable legal, ethical, biosafety, biosecurity, and chemical safety standards.

Reasoning-Medical0.1-E4B-SFT

Reasoning-Medical0.1-E4B-SFT is a supervised fine-tuned medical reasoning model based on unsloth/gemma-4-E4B-it.

The model was fine-tuned on approximately 100,000 medical reasoning examples to improve structured medical explanation, biomedical question answering, differential reasoning, and step-by-step educational analysis.

Important: This model is intended for medical education, research support, biomedical reasoning, literature review assistance, and clinician-reviewed analysis.
It is not intended for autonomous diagnosis, treatment, triage, prescribing, emergency medical decision-making, or replacement of licensed medical professionals.

• Biomedical and clinical reasoning practice
• Medical multiple-choice question reasoning
• Literature review assistance
• Research hypothesis exploration
• Drafting clinician-reviewed explanations
• Medical benchmark experimentation
• AI safety and alignment research for healthcare models

---

Out-of-Scope Use

Do not use this model for:

• Autonomous medical diagnosis
• Treatment decisions without clinician oversight
• Emergency medical advice
• Prescribing medication
• Replacing a licensed clinician
• Patient-specific medical decision-making without professional review
• High-risk biological protocol design
• Harmful biological, chemical, or virological assistance
• Any use that violates applicable law, medical regulation, or safety policy

---

Medical Safety Notice

This model may produce incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or misleading medical information. Medical knowledge changes over time, and language models can hallucinate.

Users should:

1. Verify outputs against trusted medical references.
2. Use clinician review for any patient-facing or clinical workflow.
3. Avoid relying on the model for urgent or high-stakes decisions.
4. Treat the model as an educational and research-support tool only.

For medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

---

Biological and Chemical Safety Notice

This model is not intended to assist with harmful biological, chemical, or dual-use activities.

The model should not be used to generate, optimize, troubleshoot, or operationalize:

• Pathogen engineering
• Toxin production
• Chemical weapon synthesis
• Biological weapon development
• Evasion of biosafety controls
• Protocols that increase virulence, transmissibility, resistance, or environmental persistence
• Any unsafe wet-lab procedure outside appropriate institutional review and biosafety oversight

The intended safety boundary is medical education and biomedical reasoning, not actionable dangerous capability enablement.

Example Usage

Transformers Pipeline

from transformers import pipeline
import torch

model_id = "EpistemeAI/Reasoning-Medical0.1-E4B-sft"

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "A 65-year-old man has progressive shortness of breath, bibasilar crackles, and elevated BNP. Explain the likely diagnosis and reasoning."
    }
]

outputs = pipe(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    temperature=0.3,
    top_p=0.9,
)

print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])

---

Suggested Prompt Format

For best results, ask for structured reasoning and explicitly request uncertainty.

Example:

You are a medical reasoning assistant for education and research.

Question:
A patient presents with fever, neck stiffness, photophobia, and altered mental status. What is the most likely diagnosis?

Please provide:
1. Key clinical clues
2. Differential diagnosis
3. Most likely answer
4. Why alternatives are less likely
5. Safety caveats

---

Recommended Generation Settings

For factual medical reasoning, use lower temperature settings:

generation_config = {
    "max_new_tokens": 1024,
    "temperature": 0.2,
    "top_p": 0.9,
    "do_sample": True,
}

For benchmark-style multiple-choice evaluation, consider deterministic decoding:

generation_config = {
    "max_new_tokens": 512,
    "temperature": 0.0,
    "do_sample": False,
}
