Fact-Checking Large Language Model Responses to a Health Care Prompt: Comparative Study Background: Large language models use machine learning to produce natural language. These models have a range of potential applications in health care, such as patient education and diagnosis. However, evaluations of large language models in health care are still scarce. Objective: This study aimed to (1) evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of automated fact-checking by 2 large language models and (2) illustrate a process through which a large language model might support a patient in redrafting a prompt to include key information needed for patient safety. Methods: A parallel comparison of 2 large language models and 3 human experts was conducted. A clinical scenario was devised in which a woman aged 23 years questions the safety of retinoid treatment for acne by sending prompts to 2 large language models (GPT-4o and OpenBioLLM-70B). GPT-4o and OpenBioLLM-70B were asked to suggest improvements to the patient’s initial prompt to elicit key information for clinical decision-making. After the patient sent the revised prompt to the large language models, the models were then asked to fact-check the final response. To test the generalizability of automated fact-checking, a set of 20 clinical statements on disparate topics, mostly related to drug indications, contraindications, and side effects, was developed. The large language models also fact-checked these 20 medical statements. The results were compared against the evaluations of 3 clinical experts. The outcome measures were as follows: (1) percentage of accuracy of automated fact-checking, (2) time to complete fact-checking, and (3) a binary outcome for prompt redrafting (advising the patient to revise her prompt by naming her acne medication to address safety concerns). Results: For the scenario of a patient with acne, GPT-4o and OpenBioLLM-70B both had 86% agreement with the clinical experts’ fact-checking. The large language models did not consistently convey the urgency of discontinuing isotretinoin treatment when pregnancy is suspected. In addition, the models did not adequately convey the importance of folic acid supplementation during pregnancy. For the set of 20 medical claims, GPT-4o fact-checking had 100% agreement with that of human experts, whereas OpenBioLLM-70B had 95% agreement. OpenBioLLM-70B diverged from human experts and GPT-4o on 1 question related to pediatric use of antihistamines. The expert fact-checks took a mean time of 18 (SD 3.74) minutes, GPT-4o took 42 seconds, and OpenBioLLM-70B took 33 minutes. The GPT-4o responses for the acne scenario had some inconsistencies but zero fabrication and no obvious omissions. In contrast, OpenBioLLM-70B omitted 1 key information item needed for patient safety. Conclusions: GPT-4o can interact with patients to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of the information contained in health-related prompts. GPT-4o and OpenBioLLM-70B can conduct efficient fact-checking that is close to the level of accuracy of human experts. Human experts need to perform additional checks for accuracy and safety.

Comparing Large Language Models and Traditional Machine Translation Tools for Translating Medical Consultation Summaries: Quantitative Pilot #feasibility Study Background: Translation of medical consultation summaries is essential for equitable health care communication in culturally and linguistically diverse populations. While machine translation (MT) tools and large language models (LLMs) are widely accessible, their #feasibility and safety for health care contexts remain underexplored. Objective: This pilot study investigates the #feasibility and limitations of using LLMs and traditional MT tools to translate medical consultation summaries from English into the most common languages other than English spoken in Australia—Arabic, Chinese (simplified written form), and Vietnamese. Methods: Two simulated summaries—a simple patient-facing summary and a complex clinician-oriented interprofessional letter—were translated using 3 LLMs (GPT-4o, Llama-3.1, and Gemma-2) and 3 MT tools (Google Translate, Microsoft Bing Translator, and DeepL). Translations were benchmarked against professional third-party interpreter translations using Bilingual Evaluation Understudy, Character-level F-score, and Metric for Evaluation of Translation with Explicit Ordering metrics. Results: The translation performance varied across languages, tools, and summary complexity when assessed using automatic evaluation metrics. Traditional MT tools outperformed LLMs on surface-level metrics, while LLMs showed relative strengths in semantic similarity for Vietnamese and Chinese. Arabic translations improved with complex input, suggesting morphological advantages. The metric-based evaluation highlighted #feasibility but also risks, particularly in Chinese clinical contexts. Conclusions: This pilot study provides formative evidence of opportunities and limitations in applying artificial intelligence (#AI) translation for health care communication. Findings underscore the importance of human oversight; domain-specific evaluation metrics; and further formative and clinical research to guide the safe, equitable use of artificial intelligence (#AI) translation tools.

Clinical Summaries of Social Media Timelines for Mental Health Monitoring: Human Versus Large Language Model Comparative Evaluation Study Background: Social media timelines contain rich signals of users’ mental states but are too voluminous for direct clinical review. Although large language models (LLMs) demonstrate robust linguistic and summarization capabilities in general‑purpose tasks, distilling clinically relevant insights demands deeper psychological analysis and sensitivity to each individual’s unique personality and context. Accurately capturing subtle, personalized affective and behavioral patterns remains a significant challenge for current models. A thorough, systematic evaluation of LLM‑generated clinical summaries is therefore essential to understand their readiness for real‑world mental health monitoring. Objective: This study evaluates the ability of an LLM-based pipeline to generate clinically meaningful summaries of social media timelines, compared to summaries written by human clinicians. The summaries are structured along 3 key clinical aspects, including an overall mental health assessment, intrapersonal and interpersonal patterns, and mental state changes over time. Methods: We use a recent state-of-the-art approach that combines a hierarchical variational autoencoder (VAE) with an LLM (Large Language Model-Meta AI 2 13-billion-parameter version; LLaMA2 13B). This method first summarizes the patient’s history using the VAE and then transforms this summary into a clinical narrative using the LLM. We also test both single-step and multistep LLM-prompting techniques and devise comprehensive clinical prompts. For 30 social media timelines, model outputs were evaluated against human-written summaries through human ratings and expert qualitative analysis. Linguistic diversity was automatically measured as a proxy for personalization. Results: Human summaries scored highest for factual consistency (3.75) and general usefulness (3.63). The timeline-hierarchical variational autoencoder (TH-VAE) model outperformed LLaMA for factual consistency (3.35 vs 3.08) and general usefulness (3.28 vs 3.38). Both 2-step models were comparable to humans in describing interpersonal and intrapersonal patterns (3.45-3.48 vs 3.33) and changes over time (3.42 vs 3.35-3.30). The naive LLaMA baseline scored lower on all criteria except factual consistency. Furthermore, a qualitative analysis observed that human summaries provided more accurate, deep, and personalized insights, while LLMs offered more exhaustive but generic descriptions. Quantitatively, linguistic diversity was higher in human summaries both at the semantic level (mean Cohen d=1.19) and at the surface level (mean Cohen d=1.31). Conclusions: At this time medium-size LLMs can generate largely accurate and informative clinical summaries of social media timelines, and advanced prompting boosts performance modestly. However, at the time of this writing, they underperform human clinicians in capturing subtle psychological nuances and individual idiosyncrasies. Future work should integrate domain‑specific fine‑tuning and enhanced context modeling to improve LLM clinical fidelity.

Fine-Tuned Large Language Models for Generating Multiple-Choice Questions in Anesthesiology: Psychometric Comparison With Faculty-Written Items Background: Multiple-choice examinations (MCQs) are widely used in medical education to ensure standardized and objective assessment. Developing high-quality items requires both subject expertise and methodological rigor. Large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities for automated item generation. However, most evaluations rely on general-purpose prompting, and psychometric comparisons with faculty-written items remain scarce. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether a fine-tuned LLM can generate MCQs (Type A) in anesthesiology with psychometric properties comparable to those written by expert faculty. Methods: The study was embedded in the regular written anesthesiology examination of the eighth-semester medical curriculum with 157 students. The examination comprised 30 single best-answer MCQs, of which 15 were generated by senior faculty and 15 by a fine-tuned GPT-based model. A custom GPT-based (GPT-4) model was adapted with anesthesiology lecture slides, the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalogue (NKLM 2.0), past examination questions, and faculty publications using supervised instruction-tuning with standardized prompt–response pairs. Item analysis followed established psychometric standards. Results: In total, 29 items (14 expert, 15 LLM-generated) were analyzed. Expert-generated questions had a mean difficulty of 0.81 (SD 0.19), point-biserial correlation of 0.19 (SD 0.07), and discrimination index of 0.09 (SD 0.08). LLM-generated items had a mean difficulty of 0.79 (SD 0.18), point-biserial correlation of 0.17 (SD 0.04), and discrimination index of 0.08 (SD 0.11). Mann-Whitney tests revealed no significant differences between expert- and LLM-generated items for difficulty (=.38), point-biserial correlation coefficient (=.96), or discrimination index (=.59). Categorical analyses confirmed no significant group differences. Both sets, however, showed only modest psychometric quality. Conclusions: Supervised fine-tuned LLMs are capable of generating MCQs with psychometric properties comparable to those written by experienced faculty. Given the limitations and cohort-dependency of psychometric indices, automated item generation should be considered a complement rather than a replacement for manual item writing. Further research with larger item sets and multi-institutional validation is needed to confirm generalizability and optimize integration of LLM-based tools into assessment development.

Uptake of Large Language Models by London Medical Students: Exploratory Qualitative Interview Study Background: The popularity of large language models (LLMs) has grown exponentially across health care. Despite the wealth of literature on proposed applications in medical education, there remains a critical gap regarding their real-world use, benefits, and challenges as experienced by medical students themselves. Objective: We aimed to explore qualitatively and characterize the perceived benefits, facilitators, and barriers associated with the use of LLMs among a cohort of London-based medical students. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 medical students from preclinical and clinical stages at London-based medical schools. Guided by the technology acceptance model, interview transcripts underwent an inductive thematic analysis to identify themes on actual system use, perceived usefulness, ease of use, and attitudes toward LLMs. Results: All participants reported frequent use of ChatGPT for concise topic summarization, clarification of complex concepts, generation of examination-style questions, and summarization of research. Students described LLMs as a complementary tool to traditional materials, valuing their immediacy (“Instead of getting a textbook, I can ask ChatGPT to summarise something in X words and read it in under a minute”) and ease of use. Peer demonstration and device-agnostic accessibility emerged as key facilitators. Of note, wider applications such as simulating clinical interviews were discovered through peers rather than through formal teaching. Significant barriers were reported. Hallucinations, fabricated references, and outdated information led to loss of trust, with more junior students finding inaccurate outputs difficult to detect (“I stopped using it because I found it to be inaccurate, and I don’t want to be learning the wrong things”). Half of the participants interviewed reported a sense of overreliance, defaulting to its use for answers with a perceived loss of critical thinking ability. Students noted inequalities in access to advanced features and voiced concerns about privacy when using LLMs in clinical scenarios. Conclusions: LLMs have been widely adopted by medical students. While students perceived the efficiency, flexibility, and conversational interface of LLMs as beneficial, substantial reservations remain regarding their reliability, potential de-skilling, and the loss of academic integrity. These findings underpin the urgent need for curricula to both support safe LLM use and also adapt assessment and teaching strategies for artificial intelligence (#AI)–augmented student practice. Future research should broaden geographical representation, investigate applications in low-resource settings, and integrate educators’ perspectives to establish future curricular guidance in an artificial intelligence (#AI) era.

Evaluating the Efficacy of AI-Based Interactive Assessments Using Large Language Models for Depression Screening: Development and #usability Study Background: The evolution of language models, particularly large language models, has introduced transformative potential for psychological assessment, challenging traditional rating scale methods that have dominated clinical practice for over a century. Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate an automated assessment paradigm that integrates natural language processing with conventional measurement tools to assess depressive symptoms, exploring its #feasibility as a novel approach in psychological evaluation. Methods: A cohort of 115 participants, including 28 (24.3%) individuals diagnosed with depression, completed the Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen via a custom ChatGPT interface (BDI-FS-GPT) and the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9). Statistical analyses included the Spearman correlation (PHQ-9 vs BDI-FS-GPT scores), Cohen κ (diagnostic agreement), and area under the curve (AUC) evaluation. Results: Spearman analysis revealed a moderate correlation between PHQ-9 and BDI-FS-GPT scores. The Cohen κ indicated moderate diagnostic agreement between the PHQ-9 and the BDI-FS-GPT (κ=0.43; 76.5% agreement), substantial agreement between the BDI-FS-GPT and the clinical diagnosis (κ=0.72; 88.7% agreement), and moderate agreement between the PHQ-9 and the clinical diagnosis (κ=0.55; 71.4% agreement). The BDI-FS-GPT demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy (AUC=0.953) at a cutoff of 3, detecting 89.3% of participants with depression with an 11.5% false-positive rate compared to the PHQ-9 (AUC=0.859) at a cutoff of 5 (sensitivity=71.4%; false-positive rate=13.8%). Participants also reported significantly higher satisfaction with the automated assessment compared to the traditional scale (P=.02). Conclusions: The automated assessment paradigm framework combines the interactivity and personalization of natural language processing–powered tools with the psychometric rigor of traditional scales, suggesting a preliminary #feasibility paradigm for future psychological assessment. Its ability to enhance engagement while maintaining reliability and validity provides encouraging evidence, warranting validation in larger and more diverse studies as large language model technology advances.

Context Window Expansion: Transform Your AI Performance in 2025 Context Window Expansion: Transform Your AI Performance in 2025 Table of Contents * → What is Context Window Expansion? * → The Evolution of Context Windows * → Key Benefits of Expanded Context * → Challenges and Limitations * → Best Practices for Implementation * → Frequently Asked Questions What is Context Window Expansion? Context window expansion represents one of the most significant breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology. Simply put, a context window is the amount of information a large language model (LLM) can process and "remember" at any given time. Think of it as the AI's working memory—the larger the window, the more data it can consider when generating responses. When ChatGPT first launched in late 2022, it could only process about 2,048 tokens (roughly 1,500 words). Today's advanced models like Google's Gemini can handle up to 2 million tokens—equivalent to processing over 3,000 pages of text simultaneously. This exponential growth has revolutionized how businesses and developers leverage AI technology. The Evolution of Context Windows in AI Models The journey of context window technology has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2018-2019, maximum context windows were limited to just 512-1,024 tokens. The original GPT-3.5 started with 4,096 tokens, which was later expanded to 8,192 tokens with GPT-3.5-Turbo. Major Milestones in Context Length * 2022-2023: GPT-4 launched with 8,192 tokens, later expanded to 128,000 tokens * 2023: Anthropic's Claude introduced 100,000-token context windows * 2024: Meta's Llama 3.1 reached 128,000 tokens, while Google Gemini 1.5 achieved 2 million tokens * 2025: Meta's Llama 4 announced a groundbreaking 10 million token context window This rapid expansion has enabled AI systems to transition from handling simple conversations to processing entire libraries of information in a single session. Key Benefits of Expanded Context Windows 1. Enhanced Document Processing Capabilities Organizations can now process comprehensive documents—from technical manuals to financial reports—in their entirety. This eliminates the need to break documents into smaller chunks, preserving context and improving accuracy in analysis. 2. Extended Conversation Memory AI chatbots and assistants can now maintain coherent conversations spanning hours or even days. They remember earlier discussion points, creating more natural and productive interactions without losing critical context. 3. Cache Augmented Generation (CAG) Larger context windows enable more effective use of CAG, where models can reference substantial caches of information within their context. This improves generation latency compared to traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by eliminating extra retrieval steps. 4. Improved Code Analysis Developers can now debug entire codebases in a single session. AI models can understand complex interdependencies across multiple files, providing more accurate suggestions and identifying issues that span the entire project. 5. Multimodal Data Integration Extended contexts support processing video, audio, images, and text simultaneously—perfect for applications like insurance claims processing where multiple data types need analysis together. Challenges and Limitations of Long Context Windows While expanded context windows offer tremendous benefits, they're not without drawbacks: Performance Degradation Issues Research shows that LLMs don't uniformly process information across their entire context window. Models perform best when relevant information appears at the beginning or end of inputs, with accuracy decreasing for content in the middle—a phenomenon known as the "lost in the middle" problem. Increased Computational Costs Processing longer contexts requires exponentially more computing power. Requirements scale quadratically with sequence length—doubling input tokens means quadrupling processing power. This translates to higher operational costs for enterprises. Slower Response Times As context length increases, output generation becomes progressively slower. Each new token requires computing relationships with all preceding tokens, creating latency issues for real-time applications. Signal-to-Noise Ratio Concerns More context isn't always better. Studies demonstrate that longer prompts can have lower accuracy than shorter, focused ones. Unnecessary information dilutes the signal, potentially confusing the model. Security Vulnerabilities Larger context windows create expanded attack surfaces for adversarial prompts. Research from Anthropic shows that increasing context length also increases vulnerability to jailbreaking attempts and harmful content generation. Best Practices for Implementing Context Window Expansion Be Strategically Selective Don't maximize context window usage simply because capacity exists. Include only information essential for your specific task. Quality trumps quantity when it comes to context optimization. Structure Information Intelligently Position the most critical information early in your context window. Given the "lost in the middle" phenomenon, strategic placement significantly impacts model performance. Monitor Performance Metrics Continuously track generation speed, output quality, and operational costs. This data helps identify your optimal context size—the sweet spot between comprehensive context and efficient processing. Adopt Hybrid Approaches Consider combining CAG for frequently used information with RAG for broader knowledge bases. This hybrid strategy leverages the strengths of both approaches while mitigating their individual limitations. Implement Efficient Tokenization Understand that tokenization varies by language and model. Generally, one token equals approximately 0.75 words in English. Optimize your prompts to maximize information density within token constraints. Test Before Deploying Experiment with different context lengths for your specific use cases. The ideal window size varies depending on application requirements, content type, and performance priorities. Frequently Asked Questions What is the largest context window available in 2025? As of 2025, Meta's Llama 4 offers the largest publicly announced context window at 10 million tokens. Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro provides 2 million tokens, while most commercial models like GPT-4 and Claude offer 128,000-500,000 tokens. The optimal size depends on your specific use case rather than simply choosing the largest available. How does context window size affect AI accuracy? Context window size has a nuanced relationship with accuracy. While larger windows enable processing more information, they can also reduce precision due to the "lost in the middle" problem. Models perform best with relevant information at the beginning or end of prompts. Strategic information placement and focused context often outperform simply maximizing window usage. What's the difference between context window and training data? Context windows represent the AI's "working memory" during a specific session, while training data is the vast corpus used to initially teach the model. Context windows handle immediate inputs and conversation history, whereas training data provides foundational knowledge. Both are essential but serve different purposes in AI functionality. Do larger context windows always cost more? Yes, most AI providers charge based on token usage, so larger context windows directly increase costs per query. However, prompt caching can reduce expenses for frequently reused content. The key is balancing context length with actual necessity—unnecessarily long prompts waste resources without improving results. Monitor usage and optimize based on performance metrics. Will context windows continue expanding indefinitely? While engineers continue pushing boundaries, practical limitations exist around computational costs, processing speed, and diminishing returns. Some researchers speculate about near-infinite context windows, but current trends suggest we're approaching a plateau where optimization and intelligent use become more valuable than raw expansion. Future progress will likely focus on efficiency rather than just size. Found This Article Valuable?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Key Takeaways Context window expansion has revolutionized AI capabilities, growing from 2,048 tokens in 2022 to 10 million tokens in 2025. This enables processing entire documents, maintaining extended conversations, and supporting multimodal analysis. However, benefits come with tradeoffs including increased costs, slower response times, and potential accuracy issues with unnecessarily long contexts. The most effective implementations strategically balance context length with performance needs, positioning critical information strategically and monitoring metrics continuously.
