## Model Card for BiMediX-Bilingual

### Model Details
- **Name:** BiMediX
- **Version:** 1.0
- **Type:** Bilingual Medical Mixture of Experts Large Language Model (LLM)
- **Languages:** English, Arabic
- **Model Architecture:** [Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1)
- **Training Data:** BiMed1.3M, a bilingual dataset with diverse medical interactions.

### Intended Use
- **Primary Use:** Medical interactions in both English and Arabic.
- **Capabilities:** MCQA, closed QA and chats.

## Getting Started

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "BiMediX/BiMediX-Bi"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
text = "Hello BiMediX! I've been experiencing increased tiredness in the past week."
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=500)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

### Training Procedure
- **Dataset:** BiMed1.3M, 632 million healthcare specialized tokens.
- **QLoRA Adaptation:** Implements a low-rank adaptation technique, incorporating learnable low-rank adapter weights into the experts and the routing network. This results in training about 4% of the original parameters.
- **Training Resources:** The model underwent training on approximately 632 million tokens from the Arabic-English corpus, including 288 million tokens exclusively for English.

### Model Performance
- **Benchmarks:** Outperforms the baseline model and Jais-30B in medical evaluations.
