📢 MASSIVE: This new paper proved GPT-5 (medium) now far exceeds (>20%) pre-licensed human experts on medical reasoning and understanding benchmarks. GPT-5 beats human experts on MedXpertQA multimodal by 24.23% in reasoning and 29.40% in understanding, and on MedXpertQA text by 15.22% in reasoning and 9.40% in understanding. 🔥 It compares GPT-5 to actual professionals in good standing and claims AI is ahead. GPT-5 is tested as a single, generalist system for medical question answering and visual question answering, using one simple, zero-shot chain of thought setup. ⚙️ The Core Concepts The paper positions GPT-5 as a generalist multimodal reasoner for decision support, meaning it reads clinical text, looks at images, and reasons step by step under the same setup. The evaluation uses a unified protocol, so prompts, splits, and scoring are standardized to isolate model improvements rather than prompt tricks. --- My take: The medical sector takes one of the biggest share of national budgets across the globe, even in the USA, where it surpasses military spending. Once AI or robots can bring down costs, governments everywhere will quickly adopt them because it’s like gaining extra funds without sparking political controversy.
