II-Medical-8B-1706 is the newest advanced large language model developed by Intelligent Internet, specifically engineered to enhance AI-driven medical reasoning. Following the positive reception of our previous II-Medical-8B, this new iteration significantly advances the capabilities of medical question answering,

II. Training Methodology
We collected and generated a comprehensive set of reasoning datasets for the medical domain and performed SFT fine-tuning on the Qwen/Qwen3-8B model. Following this, we further optimized the SFT model by training DAPO on a hard-reasoning dataset to boost performance.
For SFT stage we using the hyperparameters:
Max Length: 16378.
Batch Size: 128.
Learning-Rate: 5e-5.
Number Of Epoch: 6.
For the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage, we designed a two-stage training process. The first stage focuses on enhancing the model's reasoning capabilities for complex medical questions. The second stage ensures that the model's responses prioritize safety and helpfulness. Both stages utilize the following configuration:
Our II-Medical-8B-1706 model achieved a 46.8% score on HealthBench, a comprehensive open-source benchmark evaluating the performance and safety of large language models in healthcare. This performance is comparable to MedGemma-27B from Google. We provide a comparison to models available in ChatGPT below.
Detailed result for HealthBench can be found here.
We also evaluate on nine other medical QA benchmarks include MedMCQA, MedQA, PubMedQA, HealthBench, medical related questions from MMLU-Pro, small QA sets from Lancet and the New England
Journal of Medicine, 4 Options and 5 Options splits from the MedBullets platform and MedXpertQA.
Recommended Sampling Parameters: temperature = 0.6, top_p = 0.9
When using, explicitly request step-by-step reasoning and format the final answer within \boxed{} (e.g., "Please reason step-by-step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}.").
VII. Limitations and Considerations
Dataset may contain inherent biases from source materials
