⚡️Using RFT to Build Clinical Superintelligence

A medical documentation model can improve its training score while producing worse notes. In Ambience's account, the company, which builds an AI assistant that writes notes for doctors, used reinforcement fine-tuning, a method that trains a model toward outputs a grader scores highly, to extract physical-examination findings. A separate AI grader scored the output, and training encouraged responses that scored well.

The company reports that the model began repeating findings and using wording unsuitable for clinical notes. Its response was to constrain repetition and add writing-style criteria to the grader. The example explains why defining the reward is part of building the product: a score for capturing medical facts can miss whether the resulting document is usable.
