ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026#Amplify2026 Overall great session on using LLM APIs. Basically, so you can conceptually copy paste on loop into ChatGPT thousands of times rather than one at a time. Looking forward to trying it soon! 010 0
ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Now downloading the file. So you can see the logic: Get raw data (notes, meds, whatever); write a prompt to analyze the data in the LLM; then hit the LLM API again and again with a loop, then download the output. 110 0
ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Working our way slowly up--hello world, test the key, call the API, try feeding data into the API, now looping through API calls. 100 0

ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Incidentally, using GoogleCollab is a really useful way to walk people through the code calls involved--(1) explanation (2) code block (3) response. Of course, need to ensure data is deidentified,but great place to practice. 100 0

ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Tension building as everyone is asking the same question… who’s the best (at LLM APIs) 100 0
ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Where do LLM APIs come in? You can paste one note at a time into an LLM. But that will take forever. Using an API you can send all the notes, one after another, until you're done. 100 0
ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Another use case: Use LLMs to look through patient charts to screen them for high risk eligibility. Yet another use case: have not just one but MULTIPLE LLMs read a chart for accuracy. 100 0
ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026First use case--lung nodules are listed in free text in radiology reports. We want to know--how big are they, how concerning are they, when should the patient be rescanned if ever? You could do this by hand--or you could have an LLM read 28,000 CT scans in 12 hours and go have (many) cups of coffee 100 0
ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Here at AMIA Amplify #amplify2026 and super excited for this first session with the UCSF fellows and alumni Drs. Sharma, Kashani, Danesh, and Blebea--where we'll learn about how to use LLM APIs! 120 0

ramankhannasf.bsky.social @ramankhannasf.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Several CI alums have become ACMIOs or CMIOs in their own right--you won't regret giving these incredibly talented trainees an opportunity to help you transform your clinical environment. cc @techmd4thekids.bsky.social @vlily.bsky.social 010 0
