However, free medical texts are available in abundance, a 2011 survey [32] lists many resources. Language models for data of this size were not able to be processed on customary hardware only a few years ago, while nowadays (with a few tricks) even the medium size (345 million hyper parameter) gpt-2 model can be retrained on decent gaming GPUs.…”

Biomolecular Relationships Discovered from Biological Labyrinth and Lost in Ocean of Literature: Community Efforts Can Rescue Until Automated Artificial Intelligence Takes Over
