Welcome Back!

Today I want to introduce to you an important new startup in the Generative LLM space.

📊 Milestone Reached 20,000

My goal for 2022 on Substack was to reach 20,000 readers, and this publication with your serenity is outperforming that target. Today May 17th (which happens to be my birthday) I will reach that milestone. This means in 535 days since I committed myself to Substack, I’ve reached 20,000 free readers and $30,000 annually recurring revenue in paid subscription for this publication. I’m very grateful for your support.

A.I. Supremacy has thrived due to the innovation of the Subscription network and the passionate readers here. I’m under no illusions that the credit is mine. Let’s get on to today’s story:

While we are using A.I. to help monitor the health of the planet (coral reef ecology), have robots to upgrade recycling, the way Generative A.I. will impact healthcare might be one of the most important revelations of how large language models can improve society around the world.

Hippocratic Emerges from Stealth

On May 16th, 2023 Hippocratic A.I. emerged from Stealth. This will be a major company one day at the intersection of Generative A.I. and healthcare. I’ve written about hundreds of startups in the A.I. space and I am bullish about this company.

For one, a $50 million seed round is somewhat unusual. The company says its LLM model has passed over 100 healthcare certifications and surpassed GPT-4 and other commercial models’ performance.

Hippocratic — hatched out of General Catalyst — was founded by a group of physicians, hospital administrators, Medicare professionals and AI researchers from organizations including Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Google and Nvidia.

Thank you to Julie Yoo and Justin Larkin, they write:

One study shows that the average hospital has turned over 100.5% of its workforce in the last 5 years!

In this context, when it comes to generative AI, healthcare is an industry that we view as holding the most potential for tangible and measurable impact. Closing the gap on a shortage of millions of healthcare workers in the next several years, while also trying to increase leverage for those already in the workforce, requires much more than just the traditional paths of training or importing more human labor.
