rmerk is bending Mike into a Minnesota medical-malpractice records engine that mines charts and builds litigation-ready chronologies.

Ten commits across eight threads landed in a focused spring burst, but the fork has been quiet since mid-May.

This fork, from rmerk, has a clear and unusually specific ambition: turn Mike into a working platform for Minnesota medical-malpractice cases. Rather than staying a general document tool, it's being built out in phases - scaffold a malpractice matter, mine the medical records, and hand the user back a citation-linked chronology, with each piece wired to specific Minnesota statutes and case law.

What you'd encounter is a records-analysis workflow aimed at litigators: extraction that pulls structured events out of dense medical PDFs, purpose-built lenses for medication administration (MAR) and vitals, and a fast timeline view that renders the whole event log as a sortable, source-linked chronology. There's real attention to correctness under legal pressure - including a compliance gate that catches peer-review material hiding in scanned pages a text-only pass would miss.

Under the hood, rmerk has also broadened Mike's AI options, adding NVIDIA-hosted models and making a vision-capable model the default extraction brain. If you want to see how far the med-mal buildout has gone, the fork is worth a click through to GitHub.

rmerk is turning Mike into a Minnesota med-mal machine

A five-phase buildout that scaffolds a malpractice case, mines the medical records, and hands you a chronology - every piece wired to specific Minnesota statutes and case law.

Minnesota med-mal records platform: five phases from research validation to chronology view

rmerk/mike spent a single day on May 11, 2026 shipping a vertical slice that turns Mike into a Minnesota-jurisdiction-aware med-mal records pipeline. The work spans research validation, project templates, a ~6,900-LOC extraction pipeline, and a citation-anchored chronology view - all grounded in specific MN statutes and Supreme Court authority.

Fourth LLM provider: NVIDIA API Catalog with Kimi K2.6 as new default

rmerk adds `backend/src/lib/llm/nvidia.ts` as a fourth provider alongside Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI, targeting NVIDIA's OpenAI-compatible endpoint at `integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1`. Kimi K2.6 becomes the new default model for chat, titles, and tabular review - replacing the prior Gemini default across the board.

Phase 2 extraction pipeline: §145.64 vision prescan closes compliance gap on scanned pages

rmerk's Phase 2 med-mal extraction adds a peer-review compliance gate that the earlier text-only prescan left open. On scanned pages where peer-review marker phrases appear only in the raster - not the text layer - the original check would have passed them through to event extraction. The new path rasterizes those pages, asks Claude whether markers are visible, and halts before any event row is written.
