OpenAI has released a new benchmark for testing AI systems in healthcare. Called HealthBench, it's designed to evaluate how well language models handle realistic medical conversations. According to OpenAI, its latest models outperform doctors on the test.

Tl;dr: After performing poorly on benchmarks, OpenAI created their own. OpenAI products perform much better on OpenAI benchmark.

The bar exam isn’t created by OpenAI, yet the outdated GPT-4 model still ranked in the 90th percentile on it.

Wake me up when someone besides OpenAI says they're the best at something. When a company releases a benchmark they designed that their own tool that's generally regarded as not very good is suddenly the best at, that's not news, at best that's PR, at worst propaganda. This reeks of "we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong".

So they created a test so broken and warped that no actual professional can understand it but their AI performs well on it?

I almost feel sad for IBM, this was supposed to be their thing.

Had forgotten we’ve been promised this before.
