    Yes this is a major problem I thought about. The makeshift solution here was to redact the “identifying information” on the press release. Even then, I benchmarked that GPT-5 could…

    Yes we know of a few. Honestly, it was pretty hard to even find a good catalyst calendar for this space. I'll give it a read to learn more. Thanks for the note!

    That's interesting. I am curious, what kind of analyses did you work with on the molecule and drug itself? Was it like mostly reading papers/patents or did your team do anything ex…

    Our initial goal with this project actually wasn't trying to get an edge in terms of better evaluating information, but rather, we wanted to see if an LLM can perform similarly to …

    Yeah I think one of the things that would be interesting is to see how well it generalizes across tasks. It seems like the existence of pathology foundation models means there is c…

    Thought about this too. I think there are two broad LLM capabilities here that are kind of currently tangled up in this eval: 1. Can an LLM navigate a slide effectively (i.e find a…
