Overview
Med-Gemini is a family of medical research models from Google, built on the multimodal Gemini models and specialized for medicine. Across 14 medical benchmarks, the paper reports new state-of-the-art results on 10 of them, and surpassing the GPT-4 model family on every benchmark where a direct comparison was possible.
On the MedQA (USMLE) benchmark, the best Med-Gemini model reached 91.1% accuracy using an uncertainty-guided search strategy — 4.6 points above the prior best, Med-PaLM 2. Med-Gemini is a research effort described in a 2024 paper rather than a shipping product, and its multimodal reach spans text, medical images, video, and electronic health records.
