Baichuan-M1
Medical-domain LLM trained from scratch on 20 trillion tokens, with an open 14B version.
About
Baichuan-M1 is a series of large language models from Baichuan Inc. built specifically for medicine: instead of continuing pretraining on an existing base, the team trained from scratch with a dedicated medical focus over 20 trillion tokens, aiming to balance general capability with clinical expertise. The smaller Baichuan-M1-14B (Base and Instruct) has been open-sourced on Hugging Face.
The 14B release uses a community license that permits academic and commercial use under conditions — commercial users are asked to contact Baichuan for licensing details. As with any medical model, outputs are informational, not clinical advice, and should be validated before real-world use.
