Hippocratic AI announced Polaris 6 Ultra on 2 November 2026, a new generation of its healthcare language model featuring six upgrades to how AI care agents listen, think, and speak. Polaris 6 Ultra is the first healthcare model with what the company calls bedside intuition, which is the ability to read a patient's emotional state and decide what to say next in the same breath without a perceptible pause.

Key facts * Polaris 6 Ultra features a 7.4-trillion-parameter safety constellation that runs 1.3 times faster than its predecessor [1]. * The model was built from more than 323 million patient conversations to handle real-life healthcare edge cases [1]. * Hippocratic AI agents have completed more than 250 million patient voice interactions across more than 300 live clinical use cases with zero safety issues in production [1]. * The company's agents are designed to follow the principle of "do no harm" and do not diagnose or prescribe [1].

Polaris 6 Ultra provides advancements such as a more realistic voice with clinical hearing and the ability to plan the next sentence while speaking. The model is designed to operate safely and autonomously to drive patient outcomes by delivering empathy that persuades patients.

Who can use it and when? Hippocratic AI builds and deploys these safe conversational voice AI agents to address healthcare problems and transform patient outcomes. The company stands behind its safety promise by allowing the company to take responsibility for its agents in its contracts [1].
