## TL;DR

Google's medical versions of its Gemini models, able to reason over text, images, and long records.

## Summary

Med-Gemini is Google's family of medical models built on the Gemini large multimodal transformer, fine-tuned on medical data and given web search integration so it can reason over text, images and long records. The 2024 arXiv paper reported state-of-the-art results on medical exam and multimodal benchmarks, while MedLM is the commercial line offered to health systems. The intended users are developers and health systems building assistants for documentation, question answering and image interpretation. The evidence is benchmark-heavy and deployment evidence is thin; oncology-specific evaluations remain limited, so its value in tumour boards or treatment planning is not established. For a newcomer: Med-Gemini is Google's medical version of its general AI, strong on exams but not yet proven in cancer care.
