What happened to Google’s domain specific models? Not that there were 10 or 20, there were only 2 that i heard of which are MedLM for healthcare and secLM for Cybersecurity. Reason I am asking is that one of the customers is in the legal industry and I am wondering if we will have to build a custom model for them.
Hi Dheeraj,
From what I’ve seen, models like MedLM and SecLM haven’t really “disappeared,” but Google’s approach has shifted more toward using foundation models like Gemini on Vertex AI that can be tailored for different industries.
Instead of launching many separate domain-specific models, the focus now is on adapting Gemini using techniques like grounding with domain data (RAG) or fine-tuning for specialized terminology.
For a legal customer, you probably wouldn’t need a completely new base model. Using Gemini with legal documents for grounding would usually be a practical and scalable approach.
Thanks so much @SHIVANI_SATHISH makes sense. So the approach here would be to use supervised fine tuning on the customer’s corpus legal document store using Gemini on Vertex AI to build a custom model?
