Google Research uses open models such as MedGemma to advance tuberculosis screening implementation

Google Research and Google for Health presented progress in bringing health AI research into clinical practice at IDWeek 2026, including open-source chest X-ray embeddings and MedSigLIP, as well as open-weight multimodal models MedGemma at 4B and 27B parameter scales; the latter can run locally offline and has accumulated over 10 million downloads. Tools developed by partner Nexus AI based on these algorithms have obtained EU CE MDR class IIb certification and ISO 13485 certification, and have been deployed in about 40 medical institutions across six countries including South Africa, Sierra Leone, and Côte d'Ivoire; more than 90 clinicians have evaluated over 25,000 chest X-rays, reducing turnaround time from weeks to under 45 seconds. Indonesia's Ministry of Health is fine-tuning MedGemma and MedSigLIP with domestic chest X-rays to support a screening target of 50 million people per year on local infrastructure.

NVIDIA Releases Nemotron 3.5 Series of Open Models, Covering Embedding, Reranking, and Document Parsing

On October 21, 2026, NVIDIA expanded the Nemotron Retriever series, launching Nemotron 3.5 Embed (8B BF16, 1B BF16, 1B NVFP4), Nemotron 3.5 Rerank 8B BF16, and the 631-million-parameter Nemotron 3.5 Parse, aimed at multimodal retrieval and document processing for enterprise agent workflows. NVIDIA says that adding Rerank to the agent retrieval pipeline reduces the token cost per query by about 14% (with the 8B embedding model) and 13% (with the 1B model), respectively, while also improving retrieval accuracy. Parse scores 75.20 on ParseBench and processes 10.5 pages per second on a single H100; the open weights, data, and training recipes have been released on Hugging Face and can be deployed via NVIDIA NIM as well as Baseten, DeepInfra, and FriendliAI.
