Researchers have introduced a novel framework called "future querying" to assess if large language models (LLMs) can act as implicit medical world models. This approach evaluates an LLM's capability to answer time-indexed clinical queries about a patient's future using unstructured clinical documentation. The method employs endpoint-agnostic training, allowing a single model to address various clinical questions without manual feature engineering or retraining. Preliminary results suggest that even smaller, locally fine-tuned open-weight models can perform comparably to larger proprietary systems, indicating potential for privacy-preserving, on-premise deployment.
