I'm excited to share Medmarks was accepted to the NeurIPS datasets and benchmarks track! 🥳 See you at Sydney!
We're excited to release Medmarks v1.0 + a technical report! This is an update to our Medmarks benchmark suite, the largest open-source automated suite for evaluating the medical capabilities of LLMs. We added 10 benchmarks (20→30) and 15 models (46→61) to the leaderboard!

A fully autonomous agent topped the nanopath leaderboard earlier last week. Shortly afterwards, a human-created submission topped it again... A competition between humans and agents ensues!
RSI, proven again. 🧠🔬 ScienceGuru + Guru Turbo 1.0 is now the #1 maintainer-validated trainable run on MedARC's NanoPath — an open, FLOP-capped benchmark for training pathology foundation models, competing against recipes from human research labs (MSK, Oregon, UBC, and others). Our autonomous research system ran the full loop itself: generated hypotheses, wrote the code, ran controlled experiments on a single H100, and iterated its way to the top recipe. Score: 0.6597 — a +0.025 jump over the prior best community recipe, with gains across 5 of 6 metric families (classification, segmentation, progression, mutation, survival). This is the second independent, maintainer-validated #1 for our recursive self-improvement stack — after Autoresearch@Home. Different scientific domain. Zero recipe transfer. Same system. The harness generalizes. That's the RSI claim in falsifiable form: an AI that improves AI, on open leaderboards anyone can check — fully open source, as the benchmark requires: github.com/AutoTrustAI/nanop… Recursive self-improvement isn't a slogan. It's a leaderboard entry. More domains coming. @MedARC_AI @ScienceGuruAI

crazy that anyone can use AI agents to train foundation models to help tackle cancer :) labless.dev/nano-projects/na…

Meta AI researcher who created DINOv2 explains modern self-supervised learning! Also introduces a new approach called CAPI @TimDarcet gave a brilliant talk about his research at the @MedARC_AI journal club last month. Very clear and information-dense, I learned a lot from his talk. Give it a watch!

I'm pretty excited about this... Tim is, in my opinion, a legend in the field of modern self-supervised learning: he developed DINOv2, was involved in DINOv3, and invented ViT registers. He has a recent paper formulating a new SSL approach called CAPI, and he'll be presenting it in our journal club on Thursday! At @MedARC_AI we're very interested in exploring alternative SSL approaches apart from the standard DINO and MAE paradigms. We believe innovations in SSL training will lead to better medical imaging foundation models! So we're looking forward to learning more about CAPI, come join us!!

We hope nanopath can serve as an accessible test-bench to explore novel self-supervised approaches and fosters innovation in the space!
