Merlin, read for report generation

The report-generation side of Merlin, the abdominal CT foundation model published in Nature: 490 visual tokens, one linear adapter and a LoRA-tuned language model writing one organ section at a time, what the scores show, and why the released dataset matters more.

NV-Reason-CT, read for report generation

The report-generation side of NVIDIA’s NV-Reason-CT: all 13,824 visual tokens, radiologist-guided reasoning data and GRPO on finding lists, and what its CT-RATE, Merlin and RAD-ChestCT comparisons can and can’t support.
