Hugging Face introduces a performance evaluation tool for evaluating health-related generative AI models

As I wrote recently, generative AI models are increasingly being brought to healthcare settings — in some cases prematurely, perhaps. Hugging Face, the AI startup, proposes a solution in a newly released benchmark test called Open Medical-LLM. Hugging Face is positioning the benchmark as a “robust assessment” of healthcare-bound generative AI models. It’s telling that, of the 139 AI-related medical devices the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved to date, none use generative AI. But Open Medical-LLM — and no other benchmark for that matter — is a substitute for carefully thought-out real-world testing.

Miles Grimshaw Departs Benchmark to Reconnect with Kushner’s Thrive Capital

Miles Grimshaw
In an unexpected move, Miles Grimshaw announced today that he is rejoining Thrive Capital after working as a general partner at Benchmark for the past three years. Grimshaw first joined Thrive, a New York-based venture firm that Joshua Kushner founded, in 2013. He is returning as a general partner. When joining storied venture firm Benchmark in December of 2020, then-29-year-old Miles Grimshaw became its fifth general partner. He had similarly joined a team of four other partners at Thrive back in 2013.
