Continuous Hackathon

Large language models (LLMs) will have a profound impact on how to build technology in healthcare, and we want to share our perspective on their use cases.

We spent 2023 testing where LLMs make sense in the Oscar tech stack (and in healthcare) by building and launching applications. Through our rapid iteration, we’ve been able to amass good hands-on insights.

Working with language models almost requires a philosophical shift, not just the use of a new tool.

Because the research is moving so fast and it is so hard to predict, it is our belief that the only way to deal with it is to constantly run experiments, pool all of the insights centrally, and push them back out to the org to decentrally run more experiments. We're referring to this approach as a continuous hackathon.

By sharing our findings, we believe we may be able to help and enable others in the space.

This site is our commitment to sharing our knowledge. So: first, we will share some learnings and thoughts. Second, our framework and our ongoing product launches using language models. Third, our live notes tracking the technological developments in the space.
