tool use — A model's ability to call external functions — run code, search the web, edit files — instead of only generating text.
benchmark — A standard public test set for comparing AI models — the shared scoreboards behind every "model X beats model Y" claim.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
A clinician-vetted benchmarkA standard public test set for comparing AI models — the shared scoreboards behind every "model X beats model Y" claim.Full definition → for agents that act for patients over multiturn conversations, plus published failure modes of current foundation models — a template for evaluating any AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → operating under safety constraints.
