This repository contains the model presented in Baichuan-M2: Scaling Medical Capability with Large Verifier System.

🌟 Model Overview

Baichuan-M2-32B is Baichuan AI's medical-enhanced reasoning model, the second medical model released by Baichuan. Designed for real-world medical reasoning tasks, this model builds upon Qwen2.5-32B with an innovative Large Verifier System. Through domain-specific fine-tuning on real-world medical questions, it achieves breakthrough medical performance while maintaining strong general capabilities.

Model Features:

Baichuan-M2 incorporates three core technical innovations: First, through the Large Verifier System, it combines medical scenario characteristics to design a comprehensive medical verification framework, including patient simulators and multi-dimensional verification mechanisms; second, through medical domain adaptation enhancement via Mid-Training, it achieves lightweight and efficient medical domain adaptation while preserving general capabilities; finally, it employs a multi-stage reinforcement learning strategy, decomposing complex RL tasks into hierarchical training stages to progressively enhance the model's medical knowledge, reasoning, and patient interaction capabilities.

Core Highlights:

  • 🏆 World's Leading Open-Source Medical Model: Outperforms all open-source models and many proprietary models on HealthBench, achieving medical capabilities closest to GPT-5
  • 🧠 Doctor-Thinking Alignment: Trained on real clinical cases and patient simulators, with clinical diagnostic thinking and robust patient interaction capabilities
  • ⚡ Efficient Deployment: Supports 4-bit quantization for single-RTX4090 deployment, with 58.5% higher token throughput in MTP version for single-user scenarios

⚙️ Quick Start

For deploying the Q4_K_M quantized model, you can use llama.cpp or ollama, please visit their website to get the specific operational steps for deploying the model. Taking ollama as an example.

  1. Ensure that Ollama is already installed
  2. Download the model: baichuan-m2-32b-q4_k_m.gguf
  3. Create and edit the Modelfile
FROM /path/to/baichuan-m2-32b-q4_k_m.gguf

TEMPLATE """{{- if .System -}}>system
{{ .System }}>
{{- end -}}
{{- range .Messages -}}
{{ .Content }}>
{{- end -}}
"""

PARAMETER stop ">"
PARAMETER stop ">"
PARAMETER temperature 0.6
PARAMETER top_p 0.9
  1. Create the model in Ollama
ollama create baichuan-m2-q4km -f Modelfile
