PulseMind-72B - Multimodal Large Language Model for Real-World Clinical Diagnosis

BIG NEWS: PulseMind-72B is released for real-world multi-turn clinical diagnosis with state-of-the-art performance on diagnostic consultation benchmarks.

This repository contains the PulseMind-72B model from the paper PulseMind: A Multi-Modal Medical Model for Real-World Clinical Diagnosis.

---

Highlights

• Real-world clinical diagnosis focus: Designed for multi-turn diagnostic consultation where models must integrate medical images + textual clinical context and maintain evolving patient–physician interaction.
• PulseMind Benchmark: Evaluated using a multi-turn diagnostic consultation benchmark.
• MediScope dataset: Trained and studied with MediScope, a large-scale multimodal clinical diagnostic dataset consisting of 98,000 real-world multi-turn consultations and 601,500 medical images spanning 10+ major clinical departments and 200+ sub-specialties.
• Strong overall performance: Demonstrates competitive results on both the diagnostic consultation benchmark and public medical benchmarks (see paper for full results).

MODEL_ID = "AQ-MedAI/PulseMind-72B"

# Load processor
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)

# Load vLLM engine
llm = LLM(
    model=MODEL_ID,
