Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
RetiJev is a family of 0.8B-9B ophthalmic decision models that directly score candidate answers without autoregressive decoding, built for clinical decision support and guideline grading.
It was trained on RetiJev-Data, a source-grounded ophthalmology corpus with 78,158 clinical-decision and diagnosis questions from PubMed Central articles and 50,074 guideline-grading questions spanning 11 grading systems.
RetiJev-9B answers a case in 158 ms on one GPU, which is 3.5x faster than LLM generation and 470x faster than reasoning.
Across all model sizes, RetiJev outperforms both a 27B LLM and the commercial Jev 1.13 decision model on guideline grading by 10.4-23.0 points. RetiJev-9B also leads on clinical decisions by 5.4-6.5 points.
The models are released in the RetiJev repository on GitHub under the account Awenbocc.
RetiJev-Data includes a 24,662-question evaluation benchmark covering ophthalmic clinical decisions and guideline grading.
RetiJev is designed for decisions among predefined ophthalmic actions and guideline grading; it is not a general-purpose generative model for open-ended text or chat.
