Benchmark Almanac

ScanBench

Fading

Models act as doctors in 303 simulated clinical cases from 12 departments. They take a history, order lab tests and give a final diagnosis, scored per stage.

The paper calls it OSCE-like and says the data will be open-sourced. Scores are given for Clinical Inquiry, Laboratory Testing and Diagnosis, with a human doctor baseline. Grader type not checked.

Baichuan-M3-235B leads with 73.8%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.
