Hippocratic AI, a startup that builds artificial intelligence models for the health industry, has raised $50 million in funding in a larger initial funding round than usual. This demonstrates a strong investor interest in investing in artificial intelligence models for specialized industries.

The capital firms ventured Silicon Valley, General Catalyst and Andreessen Horowitz, became co-leaders in this round, funded for major language model recruitment and training fees since entrepreneur Munjal Shah founded avoidability earlier this year.

Big language models are artificial intelligence systems that extract information from large amounts of data to summarize information and generate content. They have gained widespread attention since ChatGPT, a chatbot built with a model developed by OpenAI, went viral.

Also known as the basic model, big language models can perform tasks ranging from writing essays to producing codes. Badminton AI hopes its model excels in special use cases in the health sector by training it using in-depth medical knowledge and asking for input from medical personnel.

"Hospitals are looking for solutions that can help them, and they don't have enough nurses. Our focus is on building the safest language model for health care," Shah, who previously founded the Health IQ insurance startup.

Shah said thathe would focus on non-diagnostic tasks, and his model would be able to meet the criteria for obtaining certification in various health fields, as well as using an entertaining style of communication when interacting with patients.

General Catalyst, who is the incubator forgloocratic, said existing partnerships with healthcare providers would help these startups train and implement their models.

"Logis untuk membantu menciptakan platform yang berfokus pada industri ini, dan dibangun dengan kolaborasi dengan industri, sehingga menjadi platform yang berpercaya," kata Hemant Taneja, CEO General Catalyst.

A16z said that this is one of the largest initial investments they have ever made in the health industry.

"We just feel comfortable making this investment because they are very concerned about the safety, compliance and privacy aspects of the systems they are building, which require more funding," said Julie Yoo, partner at the venture capital firm.
