  for today, December 13th.
• 0:47
  First, Google is launching new healthcare AI models that aim
• 0:51
  to assist clinicians and researchers
• 0:53
  and conducting intricate studies
• 0:55
  summarizing clinician patient interactions and more.

  Dub me Lmm compromises a large
• 1:05
  and medium-sized AI model, AI model, both based on Med Palm.
• 1:10

• 1:13
  announced by Google in March.
• 1:16

  The tech company noted that the cost
• 1:25
  of the AI suite varies based on the
• 1:27
  utilization of different models.

• 1:32
  effective, Ash
• 1:34
  and me, go Gupta, the Global Director of Healthcare Strategy

  and Solutions at Google Cloud told the publication
• 1:40
  that Google observed varying effectiveness

• 1:49
  of models rather than pursuing a one size fits all solution.

  Med Lmm model excels at handling complex tasks,

  as conducting studies using data from an entire patient
• 2:09
  population within a healthcare organization.
• 2:12

• 2:16
  optimized for specific
• 2:17
  or real-time functions, such as summary
• 2:20
  summarizing interactions between clinicians
• 2:22
  and patients, the medium-sized model
• 2:24
  is deemed more suitable.
• 2:26
  According to Mr. Gupta, Google also said it plans
• 2:30
  to introduce healthcare specific versions of Gemini.
• 2:33
  Its latest AI model to Med LM in the future.
