Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Free, open, commercially usable, and broad capability with strong vendor distribution, but Google's own clinical-use prohibition, modest absolute imaging scores, and the absence of comparative/independent benchmarks cap it at a developer foundation requiring heavy guardrails.
Next
Only fine-tune/eval the 4B variant in a sandbox against an independent held-out set (to control for contamination); never put outputs in a user-facing clinical path; confirm HAI-DF terms allow the intended use.
