General large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have shown remarkable success. However, such LLMs have not been widely adopted for medical purposes, due to poor accuracy and inability to provide medical advice. We propose IvyGPT, an LLM based on LLaMA that is trained and fine-tuned with high-quality medical question-answer (QA) instances and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). After supervised fine-tuning, IvyGPT has good multi-turn conversation capabilities, but it cannot perform like a doctor in other aspects, such as comprehensive diagnosis. Through RLHF, IvyGPT can output richer diagnosis and treatment answers that are closer to human. In the training, we used QLoRA to train 33 billion parameters on a small number of NVIDIA A100 (80GB) GPUs. Experimental results show that IvyGPT has outperformed other medical GPT models.
