## What it is
HuatuoGPT is an open Chinese medical large language model (7B and 13B variants) fine-tuned on a hybrid of distilled and real-world medical instruction data. The repository provides model weights, SFT training data, an online demo, and a medical evaluation benchmark for LLMs.

## Use cases
- build a medical consultation chatbot in Chinese
- fine-tune an LLM on medical instruction data
- evaluate LLMs on medical QA benchmarks
- download open medical GPT model weights
- train a domain-specific medical assistant
- research medical LLM alignment and safety

## When to choose
- you need an open Chinese-language medical LLM with released weights
- you want reusable medical SFT instruction data for training
- you need a benchmark to evaluate medical LLM performance

## When to avoid
- you need an English-first medical assistant
- you require a production-ready, clinically validated medical system
- you want the newest state-of-the-art model (see HuatuoGPT-II instead)

## Facets
