ShizhenGPT is the first multimodal LLM for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
It not only possesses strong expertise in TCM, but also supports TCM multimodal diagnostic capabilities, which involve looking (望), listening/smelling (闻), questioning (问), and pulse-taking (切).
ShizhenGPT-7B-LLM is an LLM-only variant derived from ShizhenGPT-7B-Omni. If your use case requires only text-based capabilities, this version is recommended. Otherwise, please choose the appropriate multimodal version below:
Note: The LLM and VL models are parameter-split variants of ShizhenGPT-7B-Omni. Since their architectures align with Qwen2.5 and Qwen2.5-VL, they are easier to adapt to different environments. In contrast, ShizhenGPT-7B-Omni requires transformers==4.51.0.
Usage
You can use ShizhenGPT-7B-LLM in the same way as Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct. You can deploy it with tools like vllm or Sglang, or perform direct inference:
