Episode notes

Can Claude perform a range of complex clinical tasks? Dev and Doc are here to investigate.

Claude sonnet 3.7 was released less than 48 hours ago, the model is highly intelligent and is one of the best we have seen in recent memory. Definitely passes the vibe check.

We give some amazing examples of coding with claude with few shot prompts, and cover technical and clinical evaluations and share our first thoughts. We even tested claude to take a patient history!

NB - PLEASE don't do this at home, obviously this is a demo and we do not in any way condone or recommend using an LLM as your doctor or healthcare provider, we are just demonstrating what the future could be. If you are sick, please seek a medical professional.
