 Aloe is a new family of healthcare LLMs that is highly competitive with all previous open models of its range and reaches state-of-the-art results at its size by using model merging and advanced prompting strategies. Aloe scores high in metrics measuring ethics and factuality, thanks to a combined red teaming and alignment effort. Complete training details, model merging configurations, and all training data (including synthetically generated data) will be shared. Additionally, the prompting repository used in this work to produce state-of-the-art results during inference will also be shared. Aloe comes with a healthcare-specific risk assessment to contribute to the safe use and deployment of such systems.
